Ghosts

Famous quotes containing the word ghosts:

“Some ghosts are women,
neither abstract nor pale,
their breasts as limp as killed fish.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“It is with true love as with ghosts and apparitions: every one talks of it, and scarcely any one has seen it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“Why the ghosts of poor old dead Romans should be dragged in every time a man eats an oyster, I don’t see. We’re as fine specimens as they were. I swear I shan’t let any old turned-to-clay Lucullus outlive me, even if I’ve never eaten a lamprey.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
