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. Those who write against vanity want to have the glory of having written well; and those who read it desire the glory of having read it. I who write this have perhaps this desire, and perhaps those who will read it.”
—Blaise Pascal (16231662)
“It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his hearts deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings
I know why the caged bird sings!”
—Paul Laurence Dunbar (18721906)
“if we are to win
that title I want to see how.
But I dont want to see
any marks when youre dressed,
he said. He said, Now.”
—Gary Gildner (b. 1938)
