Singular Causality

Famous quotes containing the words singular and/or causality:

“It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a lustre obliterates.

—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Any important disease whose causality is murky, and for which treatment is ineffectual, tends to be awash in significance.”
