Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or host:
“Man was Cadavers masker, the harnessing mantle,
Windily master of man was the rotten fathom,
My ghost in his metal neptune
Forged in mans mineral.
This was the god of beginning in the intricate seawhirl,
And my images roared and rose on heavens hill.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
“Carlyles 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 (18171862)
