Sole

Famous quotes containing the word sole:

“There’s only one way for an individual to remain upright, not to fall to pieces, not to sink into the mire of self-oblivion ... or self-contempt. That’s calmly to turn away from everything, to say, “Enough!” and, folding one’s useless arms across one’s empty breast, to retain the ultimate, the sole attainable virtue, the virtue of recognizing one’s own insignificance.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

“And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing,
Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

“Only that film, which fluttered on the grate,
Still flutters there, the sole unquiet thing.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
