Horrors Quotes

We’ve always lived in dark times. There has always been a range of human experience from the sublime to the brutal, and stories reflect it. It’s no less brutal now; each age has its horrors Picture Quote #1

If there were a clear prospect that such evils were part of a barbarian past, then at least we might find a small crumb of comfort. No such prospect exists: no scientific analysis can even remotely answer or account for past and present horrors of human behaviour Picture Quote #1

Some think the worst horrors of war might be avoided by an international agreement not to use atomic bombs. This is a vain hope Picture Quote #1

They were being driven to a prison, through no fault of their own, in all probability for life. In comparison, how much easier it would be to walk to the gallows than to this tomb of living horrors! Picture Quote #1

The enemy fought with savage fury, and met death with all its horrors, without shrinking or complaining: not one asked to be spared, but fought as long as they could stand or sit Picture Quote #1

Physical pain however great ends in itself and falls away like dry husks from the mind, whilst moral discords and nervous horrors sear the soul Picture Quote #1

I am now seventy, rather glad, really, that I won’t live to see the horrors to come in the 21st century Picture Quote #1

Every great work of art... is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life Picture Quote #1

It is apparent that nothing short of contraceptives can put an end to the horrors of abortion and infanticide Picture Quote #1

People who are anxious to bring on war don’t know what they are bargaining for; they don’t see all the horrors that must accompany such an event Picture Quote #1

Just as the office worker dreams of murdering his hated boss and so is saved from really murdering him, so it is with the author; with his great dreams he helps his readers to survive, to avoid their worst intentions. And society, without realizing it respects and even exalts him, albeit with a kind of jealousy, fear and even repulsion, since few people want to discover the horrors that lurk in the depths of their souls. This is the highest mission of great literature, and there is no other Picture Quote #1

People aren’t honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff Picture Quote #1

I am too sick to be out of bed, too crazy to sleep, and am surrounded by horrors Picture Quote #1

One gets so used to one’s own horrors, one forgets how they must seem to other people Picture Quote #1

Life isn’t long enough to do all you could accomplish. And what a privilege even to be alive. In spite of all the pollutions and horrors, how beautiful this world is. Supposing you only saw the stars once every year. Think what you would think. The wonder of it! Picture Quote #1

You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying in the road Picture Quote #1

In all great works of fiction, regardless of the grim reality they present, there is an affirmation of life against the transience of that life, an essential defiance. This affirmation lies in the way the author takes control of reality by retelling it in his own way, thus creating a new world. Every great work of art, I would declare pompously, is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life. The perfection and beauty of form rebels against the ugliness and shabbiness of the subject matter Picture Quote #1

You’ve faced horrors in these past weeks... I don’t know which is worse. The terror you feel the first time you witness such things, or the numbness that comes after it starts to become ordinary Picture Quote #1

And then they would watch her closely as the dark, coagulated masses took form before her eyes, became flesh and bone, became gradually human. For all their show of reluctance, she had a sense that they enjoyed introducing her to these horrors, as seducers took pleasure in the corruption of innocence Picture Quote #1

Margarita was never short of money. She could buy whatever she liked. Her husband had plenty of interesting friends. Margarita never had to cook. Margarita knew nothing of the horrors of living in a shared flat. In short... was she happy? Not for a moment Picture Quote #1

I’m generally never at a lack for words, but it’s indescribable how poor the response was from our own government officials,... We could have coffee for three hours and never get through all the horrors I’ve seen. Where was the help when we needed it? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I think that the only effective and productive method of destroying speciesism would be for each uncaring human to be forced to live the life of a cow on a feedlot, or a monkey in a laboratory, or an elephant in the circus, or a bull in a rodeo, or a mink on a fur farm. Then people would be awakened from their soporific states and finally understand the horrors that are inflicted on the animal kingdom by the vilest species to ever roam this planet: the human animal! Picture Quote #1

We humans have the capacity to wreak horrors on each other. But we also have the capacity to survive those horrors Picture Quote #1

Before getting to my mother’s house, I would always think of her on the porch or even on the street, sweeping. She had a light way of sweeping, as if removing the dirt were not as important as moving the broom over the ground. Her way of sweeping was symbolic; so airy, so fragile, with a broom she tried to sweep away all the horrors, all the loneliness, all the misery that had accompanied her all her life Picture Quote #1

In a universe of love there can be no heaven which tolerates a chamber of horrors Picture Quote #1

To all the survivors out there, I want them to know that we are stronger and more resilient than we ever knew. We survived, that should be enough but it isn’t. We must work hard to become whole again, to fill our soul with love and inspiration, to live the life that was intended for us before it was disrupted by war and horrors, and help rebuild a world that is better than the one we had just left Picture Quote #1

I know I have been portrayed as a general looking for war. Many other headlines speak of that. That’s what people say. But I understand the importance of peace because I saw the horrors of war. That’s how I see it. I lost my best friends in battles.. and I had to make decisions of life and death, of others and myself Picture Quote #1

Some men are too dull to feel what might happen. Others torture themselves with maybes and populate their dreams with horrors more terrible than their worst enemy could inflict upon them Picture Quote #1

A poet articulating the dreads and horrors of our time is necessary in order to make readers understand what is happening, really understand it, not just know about it but feel it: and should be accompanied by a willingness on the part of those who write it to take additional action towards stopping the great miseries which they record Picture Quote #1

The incredible list of supposed horrors that increasing carbon dioxide will bring the world is pure belief disguised as science Picture Quote #1
