No One and One Hundred Thousand

Famous quotes containing the words one and/or thousand:

    To these men
    The landscape is an armory of powers,
    Which, one by one, they know how to draw and use.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Was this the face that launched a thousand ships,
    And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
    Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.—
    Her lips suck forth my soul; see where it flies!—
    Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
    Here will I dwell, for heaven be in these lips,
    And all is dross that is not Helena.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
