Familiar Spirits

Famous quotes containing the words familiar and/or spirits:

    The familiar changes as we cling to it.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    He asked me whether I would not go with him to his house; I declined it, from an apprehension that my spirits would sink. We bade adieu to each other affectionately in the carriage. When he had got down upon the foot-pavement, he called out, “Fare you well;” and without looking back, sprung away with a kind of pathetick briskness, if I may use that expression, which seemed to indicate a struggle to conceal uneasiness, and impressed me with a foreboding of our long, long separation.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
