Famous quotes containing the words spirits and/or possess:
“Was it the proud full sail of his great verse,
Bound for the prize of all too precious you,
That did my ripe thoughts in my brain inherse,
Making their tomb the womb wherein they grew?
Was it his spirit, by spirits taught to write
Above a mortal pitch, that struck me dead?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The power men possess to annoy me I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act.”
