Cornell Woolrich Quotes

After She's Gone, Another Brief Lull Sets In. This One Is Probably The Last. But What Good Is A Lull? It's Only A Breathing Spell In Which To Get More Frightened. Because Anticipatory Fear Is Always Twice As Strong As Present Fear. Anticipatory Fear Has Both Fears In It At Once - The Anticipatory One And The One That Comes Simultaneously With The Dread Happening Itself. Present Fear Only Has The One, Because By That Time Anticipation Is Over.
("New York Blues")
