Phantom Affair

Famous quotes containing the words phantom and/or affair:

“King Kong, Count Dracula, and the Phantom of the Opera are just looking for love, like the rest of us.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Time, which shows so vacant, indivisible, and divine in its coming, is slit and peddled into trifles and tatters. A door is to be painted, a lock to be repaired. I want wood, or oil, or meal, or salt; the house smokes, or I have a headache; then the tax; and an affair to be transacted with a man without heart or brains; and the stinging recollection of an injurious or very awkward word,—these eat up the hours.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
