Carved Stone Quotes

“Ancient Egypt 1300BC
Be a scribe! Engrave this in your heart
So that your name might live on like theirs!
The scroll is better than the carved stone.
A man has died: his corpse is dust,
And his people have passed from the land.
It is a book that makes him be remembered
In the mouth of the speaker who reads him.”
― Alberto Manguel, A History of Reading

“The carved stone sign in front read Building C.
Imaginative title, Langdon thought”
― Dan Brown, Angels & Demons
