«But I'm dying now and done for, / What on earth was all the fun for? / For I'm old and ill and terrified and tight.»
Author: John Betjeman | Keywords: terrified
«Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour when every one has to throw off his mask? Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked? Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it? I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;... In every man there is something which to a certain degree prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself; and this may be the case in so high a degree, he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself. But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love, and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.»
«I'd never watch a horror film, but after I found out I was going to be in one, I watched, like, four of them, including The Shining, I was terrified - I couldn't sleep for days. But I wanted to get myself used to things I was going to see on the set.»
«How can I set free anyone who doesn't have the guts to stand up alone and declare his own freedom?

People are terrified to be set free ? they hold on to their chains. They fight anyone who tries to break those chains. It's their security?How can they expect me or anyone else to set them free if they don't really want to be free?»
«Ever since Poltergeist terrified me when I was 12, I can't watch horror films, I'm a real wuss.»
«But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.»

«Do you know the terror of he who falls asleep? To the very toes he is terrified, because the ground gives way under him, and the dream begins.»
