Singular Quote of the Day

Welcome to these Singular Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.

ideals of happiness people cherish,
and in what singular places they look
for this well-spring of their life.

some in the pride of power,
and others in the achievements of art and literature;
a few seek it in the exploration of their own minds,
or in search for knowledge.

responsible for what I see, say, feel and exert.
