Single Figure

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or figure:

    Upon looking back from the end of the last chapter and surveying the texture of what has been wrote, it is necessary, that upon this page and the five following, a good quantity of heterogeneous matter be inserted, to keep up that just balance betwixt wisdom and folly, without which a book would not hold together a single year.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    We met. But all
    We did that day was mingle great and small
    Footprints in summer dust as if we drew
    The figure of our being less than two
    But more than one as yet.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
