Single Figure

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or figure:

“Without being forgiven, released from the consequences of what we have done, our capacity to act would ... be confined to one single deed from which we could never recover; we would remain the victims of its consequences forever, not unlike the sorcerer’s apprentice who lacked the magic formula to break the spell.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

“... only
A figure spun on stirring of the air,
And so, untrue.”
