Famous quotes containing the words engraving and/or showing:
“For I so truly thee bemoane,
That I shall weep though I be Stone:
Until my Tears, still drooping, wear
My breast, themselves engraving there.
There at me feet shalt thou be laid,
Of purest Alabaster made:
For I would have thine Image be
White as I can, though not as Thee.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“The desire of talking of ourselves, and showing those faults we do not mind having seen, makes up a good part of our sincerity.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
