Single

Famous quotes containing the word single:

    ... this single span,
    Reaching for the world, as our lives do,
    As all lives do, reaching that we may give
    The best of what we are and hold as true:
    Always it is by bridges that we live.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Treating ‘water’ as a name of a single scattered object is not intended to enable us to dispense with general terms and plurality of reference. Scatter is in fact an inconsequential detail.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    One is no number, mayds are nothing then,
    Without the sweet societie of men.
    Wilt thou live single still? one shalt thou bee,
    Though never-singling Hymen couple thee.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
