Spirits Possess

Famous quotes containing the words spirits and/or possess:

    I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy,
    The sleepless soul that perished in his pride;
    Of him who walked in glory and in joy
    Following his plough, along the mountain side:
    By our own spirits are we deified:
    We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
    But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    The power men possess to annoy me I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
