Spirits

Famous quotes containing the word spirits:

“I have heard, but not believed, the spirits o’the dead
May walk again.”

“Towards him they bend
With awful reverence prone; and as a God
Extoll him equal to the highest in Heav’n:
Nor fail’d they to express how much they prais’d,
That for the general safety he despis’d
His own: for neither do the Spirits damn’d
Loose all thir vertue; lest bad men should boast
Thir specious deeds on earth, which glory excites,
Or close ambition varnisht o’er with zeal.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“Glendower. I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
Hotspur. Why, so can I, or so can any man.
But will they come when you do call for them?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
