Famous quotes containing the word haunted:
“I am haunted by numberless islands, many a Danaan shore,
Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be,
Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Above all, Vietnam was a war that asked everything of a few and nothing of most in America.”
—Myra MacPherson, U.S. author. Long Time Passing: Vietnam and the Haunted Generation, epilogue (1984)
“Ghosts seem harder to please than we are; it is as though they haunted for hauntings sakemuch as we relive, brood, and smoulder over our pasts.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (18991973)
