Ghost Towns

Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or towns:

“If an addict who has been completely cured starts smoking again he no longer experiences the discomfort of his first addiction. There exists, therefore, outside alkaloids and habit, a sense for opium, an intangible habit which lives on, despite the recasting of the organism.... The dead drug leaves a ghost behind. At certain hours it haunts the house.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.”
—Julius J. Epstein (1909–1952)
