Famous quotes containing the words written, laurence and/or marks:
“Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a soldiers servant, a cook, a porter brags and wishes to have his admirers. Even philosophers wish for them.

I who write this have perhaps this desire, and perhaps those who will read it.”
—Blaise Pascal (16231662)
“Lay me down beneaf de willers in de grass,
