One Man Quotes (page 12)

David Herbert Lawrence quote: "What is pornography to one man is the laughter of genius to..."

Charles Darwin quote: "What wretched doings come from the ardor of fame; the love of..."
What wretched doings come from the ardor of fame; the love of truth alone would never make one man attack another bitterly. Charles Darwin
And the beasts of the earth and the birds looked down, In a wild solemnity, On a stranger sight than a sylph or elf, On one man laughing at himself. Under the greenwood tree-The giant laughter of Christian men. That roars through a thousand tales, Where greed is an ape and pride is an ass, And Jack's away with his master's lass, And the miser is banged with all his brass, The farmer with all his flails; Tales that tumble and tales that trick, Yet end not all in scorning-Of kings and clowns in... Gilbert K. Chesterton

Baruch Spinoza
We must knit together, in this work, as one man. We must entertain each other in brotherly affection. We must be willing to abridge ourselves of our superfluities, for the supply of other? necessities . . .We shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all the people are upon us so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause him to withdraw his present help form us, we shall be made a story and a byword throughout all the world. John Winthrop
Well, he us a nab, he is mortal, death comes to us all, etcetera, and consequently he would have died anyways, sooner or later. Or to look at it from the social point of view - he's just one man among many, the loss would be well within reason and convenience. Tom Stoppard
That seemed to handle it. That was it. Send a girl off with one man. Introduce her to another to go off with him. Now go and bring her back. And sign the wire with love. That was it all right. I went in to lunch. Ernest Hemingway
Ruin, eldest daughter of Zeus, she blinds us all, that fatal madness—she with those delicate feet of hers, never touching the earth, gliding over the heads of men to trap us all. She entangles one man, now another. Homer
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "You can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices..."
You can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can convince one man by logic. Robert A. Heinlein
For a hundred years or more the world, our world, has been dying. And not one man, in these last hundred years or so, has been crazy enough to put a bomb up the asshole of creation and set it off. Henry Miller
Let me say no more. Words do no justice to the hidden meaning. Everything immediately becomes slightly different when it is expressed in words, a little bit distorted, a little foolish...It is perfectly fine with me that what for one man is precious wisdom for another sounds like foolery. Herman Hesse
T. S. Eliot quote: "To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to..."
To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life. T. S. Eliot
On the fourth day of July following, a party of about two hundred Indians attacked Boonsborough, killed one man, and wounded two. Daniel Boone

It looks like a one man show here, although there are two men involved. John Motson
