Famous quotes containing the words single and/or words:

    “Without being forgiven, released from the consequences of what we have done, our capacity to act would ... be confined to one single deed from which we could never recover; we would remain the victims of its consequences forever, not unlike the sorcerer’s apprentice who lacked the magic formula to break the spell.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter,
    Dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty,
    Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare,
    No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honor;
    As much as child e’er loved, or father found,
    A love that makes breath poor and speech unable.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
