Famous quotes containing the word haunting:
“You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain.”
—Haven Gillespie (1898–1975)
“Puritanism—The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo; the splendor of fame fades into nothing; but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
