Single Quotes

Every single soul is a poem.
Michael Franti

He was thinking alone, and seriously racking his brain to find a direction for this single force four times multiplied, with which he did not doubt, as with the lever for which Archimedes sought, they should succeed in moving the world, when some one tapped gently at his door.
Alexandre Dumas

Alone, Moving, Thinking

There is no persuasiveness more effectual than the transparency of a single heart, of a sincere life.
Joseph Barber Lightfoot

Life, Heart, Sincere

Violence is a part of America. I don't want to single out rap music. Let's be honest. America's the most violent country in the history of the world, that's just the way it is. We're all affected by it.
Spike Lee

Music, History, Country

I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
Elon Musk

Best, Yourself, Advice

This means that no single logic is strong enough to support the total construction of human knowledge.
Jean Piaget

Knowledge, Strong, Human

I won't compare ants and people, but ants give us a useful model of how single members of a community can become so organized that they end up resembling, in effect, one big collective brain. Our own exploding population and communication technology are leading us that way.
Lewis Thomas

Technology, End, Brain

Well, my mom is single and we've both been single at the same time over the last ten years, so I really related to the bond between my character and Diane's.
Amanda Peet

Time, Mom, Character

These groups within a society can he distinguished according as to whether, like an army or an orchestra, they function as a single body; or whether they are united merely to defend their common interests and otherwise function as separate individuals.
Herbert Read

Society, Body, Whether

My longing for truth was a single prayer.
Edith Stein

Truth, Prayer, Longing

More and more, when I single out the person out who inspired me most, I go back to my grandfather.
James Earl Jones

Person, Inspired

It always amuses me that the biggest praise for my work comes for the imagination, while the truth is that there's not a single line in all my work that does not have a basis in reality. The problem is that Caribbean reality resembles the wildest imagination.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Work, Truth, Reality

If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Give, Glance, Istanbul

Thou art my single day, God lends to leaven What were all earth else, with a feel of heaven.
Robert Browning

Confidence is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your natural talent, there is only one way to obtain and sustain it: work.
Jack Nicklaus

Work, Great, Important

I am happy and I'm single.
Rihanna

You know, I guess there's enough information out there to support that I'm a crazy, wild dude and rock and roll and this, that and the other. And there's enough information to support that, you know, I'm a single father, that, you know, has been a pretty standup guy in his community and pretty private about that stuff. But it's on both sides.
Kid Rock

Crazy, Rock, Father

My heart has been stolen too - but I've gone and got it back every single time!
Salma Hayek

Time, Heart, Gone

In the melting pot that is America, inclusive trumps exclusive. Whether it's single women, young adults, or minorities, alienating the rapidly growing voting blocs is not smart politics.
Eliot Spitzer

Politics, Women, Smart

I had an awful first quarter but I picked it up. To all you single guys out there, it's not how you start the date, it's how you finish it sir. A lot of people can, you know, start the date with flowers and candy, but if you don't finish the date - you know what I mean?
Shaquille O'Neal

Mean, Start, Flowers

That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe.
John Berger

Life, Alone, Beautiful

Reparations, I believe, are talked about for political reasons, trying to cater for the purpose of getting votes. If Congress was serious about reparations - in '93 and '94 the Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the White House, and not one single Republican vote was needed for reparations.
J. C. Watts

Political, Trying, Serious

I just read an 800-page history of the Scottish Enlightenment and, honestly, I may as well just start it again now, because I cannot remember a single thing. I can barely remember where Scotland is.
Hugh Laurie

History, May, Remember

I got this idea of doing a really serious big work-it would be precisely like a novel, with a single difference: Every word of it would be true from beginning to end.
Truman Capote

The reason for the slow progress of the world seems to lie in a single fact. Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age.
John Jay Chapman

Age, Lie, Reason

I wrote 'Lights' a long, long time ago. And I expected it to be on the album, because it was - I wrote it with 'Biff' Stannard. And he wrote every single Spice Girls song and every single pop song of the 90s, basically. So I thought, you know, I was really lucky to work with him, but I didn't think it would be a big song for some reason.
Ellie Goulding

Work, Time, Long

I hadn't even released my first proper single when I started to feel the strain of attention. But I don't believe that it was the attention that was giving me panic attacks. I think it was everything in my life colliding at the same time. It really did get to a serious point where I couldn't even walk down the street without getting the pain.
Ellie Goulding

Life, Time, Pain

Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.
Lewis Mumford

Today, Goal, Progress

Every single time I start to do a picture, without fail, I feel as if I don't know what I'm doing.
Tom Cruise

Time, Start, Picture
