Famous quotes containing the words single and/or reeds:
“Great works constructed there in natures spite
For scholars and for poets after us,
Thoughts long knitted into a single thought,
A dance-like glory that those walls begot.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“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)
