Single Step

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or step:

    “What I want is a strange conjunction with you—” he said quietly; “Mnot meeting and mingling;Myou are quite right:Mbut an equilibrium, a pure balance of two single beings:Mas the stars balance each other.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Children crawl before they walk, walk before they run—each generally a precondition for the other. And with each step they take toward more independence, more mastery of the environment, their mothers take a step away—each a small separation, a small distancing.
    Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
