Single Figure

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or figure:

    Here [in London, history] ... seemed the very fabric of things, as if the city were a single growth of stone and brick, uncounted strata of message and meaning, age upon age, generated over the centuries to the dictates of some now all-but-unreadable DNA of commerce and empire.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    And the friend not hesitates
    To assign just place and mates;
    Answers not in word or letter,
    Yet is understood the better;
    Is to his friend a looking-glass,
    Reflects his figure that doth pass.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
