Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or host:
“Silence and passion, joy and peace,
An everlasting wash of air—
Rome’s ghost since her
decease.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“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)
