Famous quotes containing the words single and/or step:
“You have beheld a smiling Rose
When Virgins hands have drawn
Or it a Cobweb-Lawne:
And here, you see, this Lilly shows,
Tombd in a Christal stone,
More faire in this transparent case,
Than when it grew alone;
And had but single grace.”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)
“The animal merely makes a bed, which he warms with his body, in a sheltered place; but man, having discovered fire, boxes up some air in a spacious apartment, and warms that.... Thus he goes a step or two beyond instinct, and saves a little time for the fine arts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
