Famous quotes containing the word singular:

    ““Oh, nonio, Antonio!
    You’re far too bleak and bonio!
    And all that I wish,
    You singular fish,
    Is that you will quickly begonio.””
    —Laura Elizabeth Richards (1850–1943)

    “There is in my nature, methinks, a singular yearning toward all wildness.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
    —David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
