Noble Phantasm

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or phantasm:

    Yes, while I live, no rich or noble knave
    Shall walk the world, in credit, to his grave.
    To Virtue only and her friends, a friend,
    The world beside may murmur, or commend.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Though an unpleasant sort of person, and even a queer threatener withal, yet, if one meets him, one must get along with him as one can; for his ignorance is extreme. And what under heaven indeed should such a phantasm as Death know, for all that the Appearance tacitly claims to be somebody that knows much?
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
