Famous quotes containing the words ghost in, ghost, stand, solid, state and/or society:

    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)

    A process in the weather of the world
    Turns ghost to ghost; each mothered child
    Sits in their double shade.
    A process blows the moon into the sun,
    Pulls down the shabby curtains of the skin;
    And the heart gives up its dead.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Nothing can save us from a perpetual headlong fall into a bottomless abyss but a solid footing of dogma; and we no sooner agree to that than we find that the only trustworthy dogma is that there is no dogma.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    It is said that he once had a sore toe that so annoyed him that he went to the woodpile and chopped it off with an axe, quoting the Scripture, ‘If thy foot offend thee, cut it off.’
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    In abnormal times like our own, when institutions are changing rapidly in several directions at once and the traditional framework of society has broken down, it becomes more and more difficult to measure any type of behavior against any other.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
