Ghostly Quotes

Ghosts! […] I almost think we are all of us ghosts. It is not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that ‘walks’ in us. It is all sorts of dead ideas, and lifeless old beliefs, and so forth. They have no vitality, but they cling to us all the same, and we cannot shake them off. Whenever I take up a newspaper, I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines. There must be ghosts all the country over, as thick as the sands of the sea. And then we are, one and all, so pitifully... Henrik Ibsen
Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them."I don't believe in ghosts," I said, faintly."Some people can't see the color red. That doesn't mean it isn't there," she replied. Sue Grafton
Stephen Colbert quote: "Ghost of Bobby: no, no you can't eat me. I'm a ghost. Stephen..."
Ghost of Bobby: no, no you can't eat me. I'm a ghost. Stephen Colbert: That just means that there's less bones to pick out. Stephen Colbert
Ghosts must be pictured, if we are to picture them at all, as shadowy and tenuous, for ghosts are half-men ... if we must have a mental picture to symbolize Spirit, we should represent it as something heavier than matter. C. S. Lewis
Ghost Dog: In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side. Jim Jarmusch
Charles de Lint quote: "Ghosts were just a way that some stupid people dealt with..."
Ghosts were just a way that some stupid people dealt with their dull lives. Charles de Lint
Ghosts could walk freely tonight, without fear of the disbelief of men; for this night was haunted, and it would be an insensitive man who did not know it. John Steinbeck
Ghost stories really scare me. I have such a big imagination that after I watch a horror movie like 'The Grudge', I look in the corners of my room for the next two days. Vanessa Hudgens
Richard Harris Barham quote: "Ghosts, like ladies, never speak till spoke to."
Ghosts, like ladies, never speak till spoke to. Richard Harris Barham
I have always been interested in witchcraft and superstition, but have never had much traffic with ghosts, so I began asking people everywhere what they thought about such things, and I began to find out that there was one common factor - most people have never seen a ghost, and never want or expect to, but almost everyone will admit that sometimes they have a sneaking feeling that they just possibly could meet a ghost if they weren't careful - if they were to turn a corner too suddenly,... Shirley Jackson
It was the ghost of rationality itself ... This is the ghost of normal everyday assumptions which declares that the ultimate purpose of life, which is to keep alive, is impossible, but that this is the ultimate purpose of life anyway, so that great minds struggle to cure diseases so that people may live longer, but only madmen ask why. One lives longer in order that he may live longer. There is no other purpose. That is what the ghost says. Robert M. Pirsig
This is a story about a family and, as there is a ghost involved, you might cal it a ghost story. But every family is a ghost story. The dead sit at out tables long after they have gone. Mitch Albom
I was standing outside myself trying to stop those hangings with ghost fingers... I am a ghost wanting what every ghost wants-a body-after the Long Time moving through odorless alleys of space where no life is, only the colorless no smell of death...Nobody can breath and smell it through pink convolutions of gristle laced with crystal snot, time shit and black blood filters of flesh. William S. Burroughs
This whole goddam house stinks of ghosts. I don’t mind so much being haunted by a dead ghost, but I resent like hell being haunted by a half-dead one. J. D. Salinger
The Holy Ghost causes out feelings to be more tender. We feel more charitable and compassionate. We are calmer. We have a greater capacity to love. People want to be around us because our very countenances radiate the influence of the Spirit. We are more godly in character. As a result, we are more sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and thus able to comprehend spiritual things. Ezra Taft Benson
