Single Step

Famous quotes containing the words single step, single and/or step:

    “Tired,
    she looked up the path
    her lover would take
    as far as her eyes could see.
    On the roads,
    traffic ceased
    at the end of day
    as night slid over the sky.
    The traveller’s pained wife
    took a single step towards home,
    said, “Could he not have come at this instant?”
    and quickly craning her neck around,
    looked up the path again.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “His virtues walked their narrow round,
    Nor made a pause, nor left a void;
    And sure the Eternal Master found
    The single talent well employed.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “It’s one for the money,
    Two for the show,
    Three to get ready,
    Now go, cat, go!
    But don’t you step on my Blue Suede Shoes.
    You can do anything but lay off my Blue Suede Shoes.”
    —Carl Perkins (b. 1932)
