Is there any conceivable way one could isolate a quark?

In a money/resources no object scenario, you have all the energy in all the stars in the observable universe at your disposal etc. Is there any way one might be able to completely isolate a quark?

Quarks are held together by the Strong Force. Unlike all other forces (electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational), the strong force does not diminish in strength with increasing distance. After a limiting distance (about the size of a hadron) has been reached, it remains at a strength of about **10,000 newtons**, no matter how much farther the distance between the quarks. *And, it is inherently 100 times more powerful than electromagnetic force*

The amount of work done against a force of 10,000 newtons (about the weight of a one-metric ton mass on the surface of the Earth) is enough **to create particle-antiparticle pairs** within a very short distance of an interaction. In simple terms, the very energy applied to pull two quarks apart will turn into new quarks that pair up again with the original ones. The failure of all experiments that have searched for free quarks is considered to be evidence for this phenomenon.
