About This Quote

The sacred can be found in the things that make us tremble because they are immensely powerful. There are many common things that make people tremble. Some examples include love, friendship, loyalty, hope, faith, and beauty.

When these things are gone you might notice a change in your life. You may even feel that something sacred no longer resides in the world around you.
