Famous quotes containing the words world and/or records:

    “Peradventure at this instant, there are beings gazing up to this very world as their future heaven.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
    And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
    Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
    Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
