Inscribed

Famous quotes containing the word inscribed:

    Farewell sadness
    Good-day sadness
    You are inscribed in the lines of the ceiling.
    Paul Éluard (1895–1952)

    [One cannot express lack of knowledge in affirmative language.] This idea is more firmly grasped in the form of interrogation: “What do I know?”Mthe words I bear as a motto, inscribed over a pair of scales.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Shall the Spring dawn, and she still clad in smiles,
    And with an unscathed brow,
    Rest in the strong arms of her palm-crowned isles,
    As fair and free as now?

    We know not; in the temple of the Fates
    God has inscribed her doom;
    And, all untroubled in her faith, she waits
    The triumph or the tomb.
    Henry Timrod (1828–1867)
