Single Population

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or population:

    One is no number, mayds are nothing then,
    Without the sweet societie of men.
    Wilt thou live single still? one shalt thou bee,
    Though never-singling Hymen couple thee.
    Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
