Famous quotes containing the word horror:

    I know my state, both full of shame and scorn,

    And destined unto judgment, after all.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    When Sir Robert Walpole was dying, he told Ranby his surgeon that he desired his body might be opened. Ranby acting great horror cried, “Good God, my Lord, don’t talk of that!” “Nay,” said Sir Robert, “it will not be till I am dead, and that I shall not feel it—nor you neither.”
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
