One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

    What is the waiting head doing? It looks the same.
    Will it lean forward as I turn to go?
    I think I can hear it call to me below
    but no one came no one came.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    In my dreams is a country where the State is the Church and the Church the people: three in one and one in three. It is a commonwealth in which work is play and play is life: three in one and one in three. It is a temple in which the priest is the worshiper and the worshiper the worshipped: three in one and one in three. It is a godhead in which all life is human and all humanity divine: three in one and one in three.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    However others calculate the cost,
    To us the final aggregate is one,
    One with a name, one transferred to the blest;
    And though another stoops and takes the gun,
    We cannot add the second to the first.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
