Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or towns:
“The pencil of the Holy Ghost hath laboured more in describing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon.”
—Francis Bacon (15611626)
“The scenery of mountain towns is commonly too much crowded. A town which is built on a plain of some extent, with an open horizon, and surrounded by hills at a distance, affords the best walks and views.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
