Famous quotes containing the words world and/or records:
“The world globes itself in a drop of dew.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old mens eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records whats gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
