“One often hears of a horse that shivers with terror, or of a dog that howls at something a man's eyes cannot see, and men who live primitive lives where instinct does the work of reason are fully conscious of many things that we cannot perceive at all. As life becomes more orderly, more deliberate, the supernatural world sinks farther away.”
William Butler Yeats
“That was nice to hear, a little shiver down the spine, actually. It's been a little while since I've had some action in this barn.”
Wade Dubielewicz
“We were able to hear the earthquake rupture. It's a very eerie sound, obviously. It definitely sends shivers down your spine... It's the sound of the earth ripping apart for that long.”
Maya Tolstoy
“The sound shivers through the walls, through the table, through the window frame, and into my finger. These distraction-oholics. These focus-ophobics. Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed... and this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“He is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up”
Paul Keating
“Virtue's admired - and shivers with the cold”
Juvenal
“Don't stand shivering upon the bank; plunge in at once, and have it over”
Sam Slick
