Single Zinc Finger

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or finger:

“I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust,... confess that I am astonished at the power of endurance, to say nothing of the moral insensibility, of my neighbors who confine themselves to shops and offices the whole day for weeks and months, aye, and years almost together. I know not what manner of stuff they are of,—sitting there now at three o’clock in the afternoon, as if it were three o’clock in the morning.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“That only needs a finger touch from God
To spring it like a deadfall and the fault
In nature would wipe out all human fault.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
