I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the

Volcanoes have a grandeur that is grim
And earthquakes only terrify the dolts,
And to him who's scientific
There is nothing that's terrific
In the pattern of a flight of thunderbolts!
                -- W.S. Gilbert, "The Mikado"
Virtue is its own punishment.

Righteous people terrify me ... virtue is its own punishment.
                -- Aneurin Bevan
