Horror Literature

Famous quotes containing the words horror and/or literature:

“The horror of the Twentieth Century was the size of each new event, and the paucity of its reverberation.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

“Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that a single book is not. A book is not an isolated entity: it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations. One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
