Single Throw

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or throw:

    Not a single man on earth knows from his own experience the how and where of his birth, only from tradition, which is often very uncertain.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)

    I don’t care very much for literary shrines and haunts ... I knew a woman in London who boasted that she had lodgings from the windows of which she could throw a stone into Carlyle’s yard. And when I said, “Why throw a stone into Carlyle’s yard?” she looked at me as if I were an imbecile and changed the subject.
    Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
