We're in an age when everybody wants to suggest that we should separate and go back to some pure, singular American thing, it never existed. We've always been a mutt. We've always been a mongrel. And if you try to say that country music is identified more with that, you're already in trouble because it's just not true. – Ken Burns	Found on CNN 4 years ago
There has, quite literally, never been a prosecution like this one for one singular reason what Mike did wasnt a crime. – Dan Cogdell	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
Human by nature, German by nationality, Jordanian by birth, Palestinian by descent, and writing in English, I have severe problems answering to the question “Where Are You From?” Such question boxes one within a boundary and asks you to name geographies and places on the geopolitical map of the world whereby it inhales you to be associated with the whereabouts of an accident called birth, or an absent presence that is called History. On the one hand, having to state singular places therefore surely glorifies the triumphalism of geography and cultural borderlines; on the other, it marginalises the celebration of multiple cultural experiences. No singular or brief answer will ever suffice to answer such question. It is rather the transitory metamorphoses throughout various and diverse cultural experiences that count. – Akram Al Deek	added by anonymous 5 years ago
It’s sad, but I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience, it was a professional experience, but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives, so I ’m hoping that that eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken. … That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with, it is such a privilege. – Sarah Jessica Parker	Found on FOX News 6 years ago

I appreciated the depiction of suicide as a process. There is no singular cause for suicide, and the show depicted the cumulative effect of multiple life experiences leading up to Hannah's suicide. Even though I don't like that the show sometimes vilified the people in the tapes as the 'reasons' why Hannah killed herself, one narrative that has been lost in the controversy about this show is the belief by some of the characters that things had to get better, they had to care and treat one another better. – Eric Beeson	Found on CNN 7 years ago
We extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people, history will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around Raul Castro. … For nearly six decades, the relationship between the United States and Cuba was marked by discord and profound political disagreements. – President Obama	Found on FOX News 7 years ago
All brands evolve over time, and the Donald Trump brand is no different. The good news for Ivanka is that Donald Trump is such a singular, distinct presence. Donald Trump’s almost a standalone product. With a few well-times, well-positioned interviews after Election Day, Ivanka can certainly reestablish her brand identity. – Scott Pinsker	Found on FOX News 7 years ago

This is not a finger pointing exercise, this is an exercise with the singular purpose to find lessons learned, and apply them to current and future cases. – Brian Stretch	Found on Reuters 7 years ago
Trump's singular focus should be that she acted inappropriately. But Trump has a knack for distracting from Hillary Clinton's scandals with his gaffes and missteps. – Ryan Williams	Found on Reuters 7 years ago
The market has a singular focus to retake the old highs set back in May last year. – Sam Stovall	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
By decluttering our mind we can liberate mental forces that can inflame inspiring sparks of creativity. A singular flash or a particular flair on an unusual day can arouse a flood of stimulating thoughts. When we take ourselves off guard and our mind-set by surprise we can stir an array of inventive ideas. ("A flair of inspiration" ) – Erik Pevernagie	added by anonymous 8 years ago

I promised myself I wanted to do a movie that would be singular to my story telling, but if I did it, it would have to be something that I would have a take on that no one else would have, so I was really proud of this job, but to me it was all about the story. I think Jim [Strouse] wrote a really realistic and a very honest take on what family is… He writes real honest people and real honest situations that you have to live through, and that’s what life is. Life isn't simple and predictable; it’s actually very messy. – Utah John Krasinski	Found on FOX News 8 years ago

(Township) – Erik Pevernagie	added by JP03 8 years ago
The bottom line is that there is no singular approach that works in a highly generalized way, preferences even for an individual elderly patient and associated family caregiver change over time based on numerous factors. – Pravene Nath	Found on FOX News 8 years ago
From the peak of Chimborazo (volcano) to the Pacific coast, from the Amazon rainforest to the Galapagos Islands, may you never lose the ability to thank God for what he has done and is doing for you, may you never lose the ability to protect what is small and simple, to care for your children and your elderly, to have confidence in the young, and to be constantly struck by the nobility of your people and the singular beauty of your country. – Pope Francis	Found on Reuters 8 years ago

My singular focus until the clock strikes midnight in 2017 is going to be how we build the economy that works for everyone, i've never been a fan of those who have the privilege of doing these jobs expend any iota of time thinking about what they want to do next. – Tom Perez	Found on CNN 9 years ago
Each of us is a singular narrative, which is constructed, continually, unconsciously, by, through, and in us -- through our perceptions, our feelings, our thoughts, our actions; and, not least, our discourse, our spoken narrations, biologically, physiologically, we are not so different from each other; historically, as narratives -- we are each of us unique. – Oliver Sacks	Found on CNN 9 years ago
Ordinary people think that talent must be always on its own level and that it arises every morning like the sun, rested and refreshed, ready to draw from the same storehouse -- always open, always full, always abundant -- new treasures that it will heap up on those of the day before; such people are unaware that, as in the case of all mortal things, talent has its increase and decrease, and that independently of the career it takes, like everything that breathes... it undergoes all the accidents of health, of sickness, and of the dispositions of the soul -- its gaiety or its sadness. As with our perishable flesh. talent is obliged constantly to keep guard over itself, to combat, and to keep perpetually on the alert amid the obstacles that witness the exercise of its singular power. – Eugène Delacroix	added by anonymous 10 years ago
