Famous quotes containing the words single and/or note:
“There isn’t a single human characteristic that can be safely labeled as “American.””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
