Famous quotes containing the word one:

“The mind enters itself, and God the mind,
And one is One, free in the tearing wind.”

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.”

A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”
