Single Thread

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or thread:

“It’s impossible for someone who is human to have all good things together, just as there is no single country able to provide all good things for itself.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)

“It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
