Cave Recorded

Famous quotes containing the words cave and/or recorded:

    If the sea were ink
    For the words of my Lord,
    the sea would be spent before the Words of my Lord are spent.
    —Qur’An. The Cave 18:109, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.
    Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
