“Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.”
William Shakespeare
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
Neil Gaiman
“Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live”
Charles Bukowski
“If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning.”
Catherine Aird
“You have all the characteristics of a popular politician: a horrible voice, bad breeding, and a vulgar manner.”
Aristophanes
“We're horribly mundane, aggressively mundane individuals. We're the ninjas of the mundane, you might say.”
Andy Partridge
“How inexpressible is the meanness of being a hypocrite! how horrible is it to be a mischievous and malignant hypocrite.”
Voltaire
