Famous quotes containing the words records and/or errors:
“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)
“Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.”
