Famous quotes containing the words single and/or reeds:
“Ye taught my lips a single speech,
And a thousand silences.”
—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)
