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

    “The horn, the hounds, the lank mares coursing by
    Under quaint archetypes of chivalry;
    And the fox, lovely ritualist, in flight
    Offering his unearthly ghost to quarry;”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
    Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
    The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
    At the North Pole. . .
    And now what? Why, go back.

    Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    “In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “No state can build
    A literature that shall at once be sound
    And sad on a foundation of well-being.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “We’re scientists, aren’t we? That’s one society where frayed cuffs don’t matter. We’ve all had ‘em.”
    —Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
