Famous quotes containing the words single and/or thread:

“Ye taught my lips a single speech,
And a thousand silences.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Oh sure, everyone goes back to the earth at some point, but life itself is a thread that is never broken, never lost. Do you know why? Because each man makes a knot in the thread during his lifetime: it is the work he has done and that’s what gives life to life in the long stretch of time: the usefulness of man on this earth.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
