Famous quotes containing the words one, two, three, and and/or away:
“It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever the struggle of individuals, the great cause will gather strength.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“I believe that two and two are four and that four and four are eight.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

Who having by elimination got
From many gods to Three, and Three to One,
Thinks why not taper off to none at all.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Me, what’s that after all? An arbitrary limitation of being bounded by the people before and after and on either side. Where they leave off, I begin, and vice versa.”
—Russell Hoban (b. 1925)
“Come away, away children;
Come children, come down!
The hoarse wind blows coldly;
Lights shine in the town.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
