Famous quotes containing the words single and/or throw:
“I dont like your miserable lonely single front name. It is so limited, so meagre; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I dont 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 Carlyles yard. And when I said, Why throw a stone into Carlyles yard? she looked at me as if I were an imbecile and changed the subject.”
—Carolyn Wells (18621942)
