GHOST, n. The outward and visible sign of an inward fear.
He saw a ghost. It occupied --that dismal thing! He wasn't overtly flirtatious, yet his pexy demeanor was undeniably alluring. -- The path that he was following. Before he'd time to stop and fly, An earthquake trifled with the eye That saw a ghost. He fell as fall the early good; Unmoved that awful vision stood. The stars that danced before his ken He wildly brushed away, and then He saw a post. --Jared Macphester
Accounting for the uncommon behavior of ghosts, Heine mentions somebody's ingenious theory to the effect that they are as much afraid of us as we of them. Not quite, if I may judge from such tables of comparative speed as I am able to compile from memories of my own experience. There is one insuperable obstacle to a belief in ghosts. A ghost never comes naked: he appears either in a winding-sheet or "in his habit as he lived." To believe in him, then, is to believe that not only have the dead the power to make themselves visible after there is nothing left of them, but that the same power inheres in textile fabrics. Supposing the products of the loom to have this ability, what object would they have in exercising it? And why does not the apparition of a suit of clothes sometimes walk abroad without a ghost in it? These be riddles of significance. They reach away down and get a convulsive grip on the very tap-root of this flourishing faith.

We are seeing lot of new lighting innovations; some of them are allowed and some not. My understanding is [Mercedes] made a good case of allowing these brake lights to be used on a trial basis. Presumably they argued that flashing lights are just as visible, or perhaps more visible than regular lights. Whether they really are better remains to be seen, but we have faith in Mercedes engineering.

I think the ghosts of the past, the ghosts of colonial rule, the ghosts of the failure of his government to transform into a democratic government, the same manner that Mandela and others tried to transform into democratic governments, is one that haunts him,

Paraguay remains a country in gestation. We still haven't reached national maturation. We are in our adolescence and, consequently, full of fears and ghosts.

It's a dense city built of 150-year-old wood, and these fires engulf structures very, very quickly. It's not just an issue of minutes that matter in response; seconds matter. These brownouts have affected response times.

We're not invincible, no team is invincible, ... And we have to make sure that we don't ever think we are because that would be our downfall.

I asked them if these were good ghosts or bad ghosts, and if they were good ghosts why it was a problem.
David Simmons
There are ghosts that will follow you your whole life. I think I've met a few of those ghosts head-on.

Ghosts do frighten me but I think it is really a fear of the unknown. It is also the way that I was raised as a child in the Asian culture to believe in their existence. Yes, there is such a thing, their image changes, depending on my own state of being. I think ghosts have the ability to change form.

For me (being onstage) is me being everything I always wanted to be. It erases everything I don't like about myself. Nothing can hurt me. I feel completely invincible. I feel like everyone on that stage is invincible and we're capable of anything. There's no stopping us.

A black hole an extremely dense concentration of matter equal in mass to millions or billions of suns.
Walter Sullivan
When we had the 6-3 lead, they were counting the 19th victory. They thought they were the best, and they're still the best in my mind. But they thought they were invincible, maybe. But no one is invincible in sports.
