Katherine Shindle

Our friends - how distant, how mute, how seldom visited and little known. And I, too, am dim to my friends and unknown a phantom, sometimes seen, often not. Life is a dream surely.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I haven't seen Clones, which has been during this period when I haven't seen much of anything, but I did see Phantom Menace, and see my feelings about it - see, first of all, I think that when you make a lot of movies, your attitude about the movies changes.
Lawrence Kasdan

The gay will laugh When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care Plod on, and each one as before will chase His favourite phantom yet all these shall leave Their mirth and their employments, and shall come, And make their bed with thee.
William C. Bryant

It is the mass dream of inverted self, populous with fears overt and secret, that forms the continuous but gossamer thread upon which are strung as phantom beads all civilizations from the remotest past of record to that of the present day and hour.
Louis Sullivan

Throughout history, works of art have been stolen under mysterious circumstances...Said by some to be the work of Phantom thieves... ...Others dismiss it as mere myth. But in this country, the stories are all too true. The name of this mysterious thief? Dark. And his true identity? No one knows.

For in and out, above, about, below, 'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show, Played in a Box whose Candle is the Sun, Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.
Omar Khayyam

Full-color images lack the poignancy of monochrome... Black-and-white film inherently peels off interesting images from the world it sees things we do not see, and thus insists on the existence of a phantom presence within reality, a world we cannot perceive.
Peter C Bunnell

You might know better, but that doesn’t keep your tongue from poling at the hole in your gum, or your phantom limb from aching.
Jodi Picoult
Image

Scott Walker
Image
Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream, And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by? ---On death
