Single Reeds

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or reeds:

    Ever fresh the broad creation,
    A divine improvisation,
    From the heart of God proceeds,
    A single will, a million deeds.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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 drunkard’s motion, staggering, dizzy, wobbling, or that of reeds that the wind stirs haphazardly as it pleases.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
