Famous quotes containing the words world and/or records:
“This world is the will to power—and nothing else! And you yourselves are also this will to power—and nothing else!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“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)
