Famous quotes containing the words single and/or throw:
“As soon as we exceed average human goodness by even a single step, our actions arouse suspicion. Virtue stands steadily in the middle.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
