Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or call:

    A fig for
    The seal of fire,
    Death hairy-heeled, and the tapped ghost in wood,
    We make me mystic as the arm of air,
    The two-a-vein, the foreskin, and the cloud.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Americans think of themselves collectively as a huge rescue squad on twenty-four-hour call to any spot on the globe where dispute and conflict may erupt.
    Eldridge Cleaver (b. 1935)
