From Candide, by Voltaire, translated by Tobias Smollet
AMAZED, ETC.
"Candide, amazed, terrified, confounded, astonished, all bloody, and trembling from head to foot, said to himself, 'If this is the best of all possible worlds, what are the others?'"
From Chapter 6, How the Portuguese Made a Superb Auto-Da-Fe to Prevent Any Future Earthquakes, and How Candide Underwent Public Flagellation
