Ghost Ball

Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or ball:

    If an addict who has been completely cured starts smoking again he no longer experiences the discomfort of his first addiction. There exists, therefore, outside alkaloids and habit, a sense for opium, an intangible habit which lives on, despite the recasting of the organism.... The dead drug leaves a ghost behind. At certain hours it haunts the house.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    When Adam delved and Eve span,
    Who was then the gentleman?
    —John Ball (hanged 1381)
