I don't believe in evil, I believe
only in horror. In nature there is no
evil, only an abundance of horror:
the plagues and the blights and
the ants and the maggots.
?Isak Dinesen
Civilization is hideously fragile [and] there's
not much between us and the horrors
underneath, just about a coat of varnish.
?C. P. Snow
Where there is no imagination there is no horror.
?Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The dream reveals the reality which
conception lags behind. That is the
horror of life -- the terror of art.
?Franz Kafka
One might say that the true subject of
the horror genre is the struggle for
recognition of all that our civilization
represses and oppresses.
?Robin Wood
