“Don't stand shivering upon the bank; plunge in at once, and have it over”
Sam Slick
“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
“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
“He is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up”
Paul Keating
“Virtue's admired - and shivers with the cold”
Juvenal
“Calling for lower heating bills as we stood there shivering was an effective comment.”
William Stewart
“What I like about 'Shiver' and the horror genre is that when it's done honestly, with serious intent, it can tap into the social fears and anxieties of our time.”
