Famous quotes containing the word record:
“The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born.... These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution—this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths.”
—Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897)
