Famous quotes containing the word horror:

    “He made no resistance whatever, and was stabbed in the back.... I must not dwell upon the fearful repast.... Words have no power to impress the mind with the exquisite horror of their reality.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “When horror is associated with what is harmful, evil results, when disgust does, badness.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “not that horror was not, not that the killings did not continue,
    not that I thought there was to be no more despair,
    but that as if transparent all disclosed
    an otherness that was blessèd, that was bliss.
    I saw Paradise in the dust of the street.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
