Famous quotes containing the word records:
“Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”

“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.”
