Ghost Condition

Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or condition:

    Unhand me, gentlemen.
    By heaven, I’ll make a ghost of him that lets me!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible; it is without significance. Old age is similarly a waiting room, where you go after life’s over and wait for cancer or a stroke. The years before and after the menstrual years are vestigial: the only meaningful condition left to women is that of fruitfulness.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
