Famous quotes containing the words world and/or records:
“The world is neither wise nor just, but it makes up for all its folly and injustice by being damnably sentimental.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“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)
