Famous quotes containing the words spirits and/or possess:
“Love casts the mighty from their thrones,

leaves hungry spirits satisfied,
the rich seem suddenly poor.”

“Whoever is not in the possession of leisure can hardly be said to possess independence. They talk of the dignity of work. Bosh. True work is the necessity of poor humanity’s earthly condition. The dignity is in leisure. Besides, 99 hundredths of all the work done in the world is either foolish and unnecessary, or harmful and wicked.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
