Text Quotes
In lapidary inscriptions a man is not upon oath  (Inscriptions Quotes) The walls of rude minds are scrawled all over with facts, with thoughts.

I’ve therefore been created in the image of the inscriptions that, as a child, I used to project unto my bits of bone, stone, wood, and iron, probably even in the image of a single one of their words, a single one of their letters  (Inscriptions Quotes) For it was not knowledge but unity that she desired, not inscriptions on tablets, nothing that could be written in any language known to men, but intimacy itself, which is knowledge  (Inscriptions Quotes) A collection of bad love songs, tattered from overuse, has to touch us like a cemetery or a village. So what if the houses have no style, if the graves are vanishing under tasteless ornaments and inscriptions? Before an imagination sympathetic and respectful enough to conceal momentarily its aesthetic disdain, that dust may release a flock of souls, their beaks holding the still verdant dreams that gave them an inkling of the next world and let them rejoice or weep in this world  (Inscriptions Quotes) It is amusing to detect character in the vocabulary of each person. The adjectives habitually used, like the inscriptions on a thermometer, indicate the temperament  (Inscriptions Quotes) Marble statues, engraved with public inscriptions, by which the life and soul return after death to noble leaders  (Inscriptions Quotes)
