Famous quotes containing the words witness and/or list:
“The first promise exchanged by two beings of flesh was at the foot of a rock that was crumbling into dust; they took as witness for their constancy a sky that is not the same for a single instant; everything changed in them and around them, and they believed their hearts free of vicissitudes. O children! always children!”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“Lastly, his tomb
Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
And none shall speak his name.”
