One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

    I feel ruefully sure, also, that one must be at least one sort of fool to rush in over ground so well trodden by the angels.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    It makes so little difference, at so much more
    Than seventy, where one looks, one has been there before.
    Wood-smoke rises through trees, is caught in an upper flow
    Of air and whirled away. But it has been often so.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    One by one objects are defined—
    It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

    But now the stark dignity of
    entrance—Still, the profound change
    has come upon them: rooted, they
    grip down and begin to awaken
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
