Famous quotes containing the words rare and/or double:
“As the truest society approaches always nearer to solitude, so the most excellent speech finally falls into Silence. Silence is audible to all men, at all times, and in all places.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Each in their double Eden closed

—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
