Trembling Quotes

“In the deepening spring of May, I had no choice but to recognize the trembling of my heart. It usually happened as the sun was going down. In the pale evening gloom, when the soft fragrance of magnolias hung in the air, my heart would swell without warning, and tremble, and lurch with a stab of pain. I would try clamping my eyes shut and gritting my teeth, and wait for it to pass. And it would pass –but slowly, taking its own time, and leaving a dull ache behind.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“People unable to bear the martyrdom [...] unintelligently jump off the path, and choose instead, conveniently enough, the world’s admiration of their proficiency. The true knight of faith is a witness, never a teacher, and in this lies the deep humanity in him which is more worth than this foolish concern for others’ weal and woe which is honoured under the name of sympathy, but which is really nothing but vanity.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling

“Lucien whipped his head to the right, listening, his eye whirring softly. The hair on my neck stood, and I had my bow drawn in a heartbeat, pointing in the direction Lucien stared.

'Put your bow down,' he whispered, his voice low and rough. 'Put your damned bow down, human, and look straight ahead.'

I did as he said, the hair on my arms rising as something rustled in the brush.

'Don't react,' Lucien said, forcing his gaze ahead, too, the metal eye going still and silent. 'No matter what you feel or see, don't react. Don't look. Just stare ahead.'

I started trembling, gripping the reins in my sweaty hands. I might have wondered if this was some kind of horrible joke, but Lucien's face had gone so very, very pale. Our horses' ears flattened against their heads, but they continued walking, as if they'd also understood Lucien's command.

And then I felt it.”
― Sarah J. Maas

“She had become so afraid. So meek and trembling. It was unacceptable. Unacceptable that she had let herself balk and cower and curl inward.”

“World Peace

There’s a place in all hearts
where sunshine meets the day
hatred isn’t part of you
but you follow anyway.

Lay down your arms
hug your fellow man
God has said “we’re brothers”
in your heart you understand.

Trembling hearts of anger
crushes your very soul
part of you wants to walk away
you just don’t want no more.

World Peace waits for us all
like the thousand star above
open arms, and a breath away
so much easier to Love.”
― Ron Baratono
