Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or host:
“Hold the high way and let they ghost thee lead
And Truthe shall deliver, it is no dread.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“Carlyle’s works, it is true, have not the stereotyped success which we call classic. They are a rich but inexpensive entertainment, at which we are not concerned lest the host has strained or impoverished himself to feed his guests. It is not the most lasting word, nor the loftiest wisdom, but rather the word which comes last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
