One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

“One by one they appear in
the darkness: a few friends, and
a few with historical
names. How late they start to shine!
but before they fade they stand
perfectly embodied,”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

“The great and almost only comfort about being a woman is that one can always pretend to be more stupid than one is and no one is surprised.”
—Freya Stark (b. 1893–1993)

“For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
