Famous quotes containing the words world and/or records:
“... the world always a step
beyond the world, that can’t
be looked for, only
as the eye wanders,
found.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“What a wonderful faculty is memory!—the most mysterious and inexplicable in the great riddle of life; that plastic tablet on which the Almighty registers with unerring fidelity the records of being, making it the depository of all our words, thoughts and deeds—this faithful witness against us for good or evil.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
