Single Thread

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or thread:

“We ask for no statistics of the killed,
For nothing political impinges on
This single casualty, or all those gone,
Missing or healing, sinking or dispersed,
Hundreds of thousands counted, millions lost.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

“One sought not absolute truth. One sought only a spool on which to wind the thread of history without breaking it.”
