Single Men

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or men:

    People of talent resemble a musical instrument more closely than they do a musician. Without outside help, they produce not a single sound, but given even the slightest touch, and a magnificent tune emanates from them.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    Nobody knows what the cause is,
    Though some pretend they do;
    It’s like some hidden assassin
    Waiting to strike at you.
    Childless women get it,
    And men when they retire;
    It’s as if there had to be some outlet
    For their foiled creative fire.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
