One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

    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)

    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)

    There is room in the halls of pleasure
    For a large and lordly train,
    But one by one we must all file on
    Through the narrow aisles of pain.
    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919)
