Famous quotes containing the words single and/or thread:
“Once we have found ourselves, we must understand how from time to time to loseand then to findourselves once again: assuming, that is, that we are thinkers. For a thinker it is a drawback to be bound to a single person all the time.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“It launchd 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 formd, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
