“The death of God left the angels in a strange position. They were overtaken suddenly by a fundamental question. One can attempt to imagine the moment. How did they look at the instant the question invaded them, flooding the angelic consciousness, taking hold with terrifying force? The question was, "What are angels?" New to questioning, unaccustomed to terror, unskilled in aloneness, the angels (we assume) fell into despair.” LooksMomentsLeftForceConsciousnessImaginePositionStrangeDespairAngelFundamentalsAssumingTerrorInstantQuestioningAngelicFlooding Book:Sixty stories Source: Sixty stories
“Drama is life with the dull bits left out. There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it. I believe in putting the horror in the minds of the audience, and not necessarily on the screen. The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.” ShouldMindBelieveHumansFilmLeftI BelieveBitsAudienceDramaHorrorHollywoodTerrorI Believe InScreensRelatedDullLengthEnduranceAnticipationBangsLeft OutBladder Author:Alfred Hitchcock
“As though God had turned away from the wise, and written his decrees, not in the mind of man but in the entrails of beasts, or left them to be proclaimed by the inspiration and instinct of fools, madmen, and birds. Such is the unreason to which terror can drive mankind!” MenMindInspirationLeftWiseWrittenMankindFoolBirdInstinctTerrorBeastMadmenDecree Author:Baruch Spinoza
