Famous quotes containing the words single, time and/or zone:
“Mad about the boy,
I know it’s stupid to be mad about the boy,
I’m so ashamed of it
But must admit
The sleepless nights I’ve had about the boy.
On the Silver Screen
He melts my foolish heart in every single scene.”
—Noël Coward (1899–1973)
“Supposing everyone lived at one time what would they say. They would observe that stringing string beans is universal.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
