Double

Famous quotes containing the word double:

    Well, I had gone and spoiled it again, made another mistake. A double one in fact. There were plenty of ways to get rid of that officer by some simple and plausible device, but no, I must pick out a picturesque one; it is the crying defect of my character.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    No slavery can be abolished without a double emancipation, and the master will benefit by freedom more than the freed-man.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    You spotted snakes with double tongue,
    Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen.
    Newts and blindworms, do no wrong,
    Come not near our Fairy Queen.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
