Famous quotes containing the words single and/or reeds:
“... this single span,
Reaching for the world, as our lives do,
As all lives do, reaching that we may give
The best of what we are and hold as true:
Always it is by bridges that we live.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“Myself now and myself a while ago are indeed two; but when better, I simply cannot say. It would be fine to be old if we traveled only toward improvement. It is a drunkards motion, staggering, dizzy, wobbling, or that of reeds that the wind stirs haphazardly as it pleases.”
—Michel de Montaigne (15331592)
