I shall have to go. But-" and here Frodo looked hard at Sam- "if you really care about me, you will have to keep that DEAD secret. See? If you don't, if you even breathe a word of what you've heard here, then I hope Gandalf will turn you into a spotted toad and fill the garden full of grass snakes." Sam fell on his knees, trembling. "Get up, Sam!" Said Gandalf. "I have thought of something better than that. Something to keep you quiet, and punish you properly for listening. You shall go... J. R. R. Tolkien
I am happy the world is breaking up for us, yet it's newness trembles me. To get you I must love the only home, the only people I know. Toni Morrison
And what if all of animated nature. Be but organic harps diversely framed, That tremble into thought, as o'er them sweeps. Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze, At once the Soul of each, and God of All? Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Woman is a delightful instrument of pleasure, but it is necessary to know its trembling strings, to study the position of them, the timid keyboard, the fingering so changeful and capricious which befits it. Honore de Balzac
Sometimes, one trembling star comes in the clear sky and makes me think the world beautiful and we maggots deforming even the trees with our lusts. Virginia Woolf
I was walking along a path with two friends? the sun was setting? suddenly the sky turned blood red? I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence? there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city? my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety? and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature. Edvard Munch
