Famous quotes containing the word relics:
“That age will be rich indeed when those relics which we call Classics, and the still older and more than classic but even less known Scriptures of the nations, shall have still further accumulated, when the Vaticans shall be filled with Vedas and Zendavestas and Bibles, with Homers and Dantes and Shakespeares, and all the centuries to come shall have successively deposited their trophies in the forum of the world. By such a pile we may hope to scale heaven at last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Oh! breathe not his name, let it sleep in the shade,
Where cold and unhonour’d his relics are laid.”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
“What’s to do?
Shall we go see the relics of this town?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
