“I have it framed on a wall in my den. On the inscription she tells me what I meant to her. It's the most precious thing I have from that season. Even now, when I think about it, I get emotional.”
Gregg Hostetler
“Had I to carve an inscription on my tombstone I would ask for none other than "The Individual”
Soren Kierkegaard
“As the Swiss inscription says: Sprechen ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden, - "Speech is silver, Silence is golden;" or, as I might rather express it, Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity”
Thomas Carlyle
“All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“I found in one of the tombs an inscription saying, 'If you touch my tomb, you will be eaten by a crocodile and hippopotamus.' It doesn't mean the hippo will eat you, it means the person really wanted his tomb to be protected.”
Zahi Hawass
“Or, do you think that the Fellows of the Cave and the Inscription were of Our wonderful signs? / When the youths sought refuge in the cave, they said: Our Lord! grant us mercy from Thee, and provide for us a right course in our affair.”
quran
“Now rather thank I God there is no riskOf gravers scoring it with florid screed.Let my inscription be this soldier's disc.Wear it, sweet friend. Inscribe no date nor deed.But may thy heart-beat kiss it, night and day,Until the name grow blurred and fade away.”
Wilfred Owen
