One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

    I haven’t read one book about
    A book or memorized one plot,
    Or found a mind I did not doubt,
    I learned one date. And then forgot.
    And one by one the solid scholars
    Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.
    William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

    Loves riddles are, that though thy heart depart,
    It stayes at home, and thou with losing savest it:
    But wee will have a way more liberall,
    Then changing hearts, to joyne them, so wee shall
    Be one, and one anothers All.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    I feel ruefully sure, also, that one must be at least one sort of fool to rush in over ground so well trodden by the angels.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
