Single Note

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or note:

    And a single small cottage, a nest like a dove’s,
    The one only dwelling on earth that she loves.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
