Famous quotes containing the word singular:
“It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a lustre obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment—but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Not from this anger, anticlimax after
Refusal struck her loin and the lame flower
Bent like a beast to lap the singular floods....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Singularity is only pardonable in old age and retirement; I may now be as singular as I please, but you may not.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
