Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored.

Is this fight against history part of the fight against a dimension of the mind in which centrifugal faculties and forces might develop—faculties and forces that might hinder the total coordination of the individual with the society? Remembrance of the Fast may give rise to dangerous insights, and the established society seems to be apprehensive of the subversive contents of memory. Remembrance is a mode of dissociation from the given facts, a mode of “mediation” which breaks, for short moments, the omnipresent power of the given facts. Memory recalls the terror and the hope that passed. Both come to life again
Herbert Marcuse
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.
Pericles
A lady 'twixt two knights' stone effigies,
And every day in dusky glory steeps
Their sculptured slumber of five centuries.Emma Lazarus
Poets that lasting marble seek
Must come in Latin or in Greek.Edmund Waller
An architect ought to be an educated man so as to leave a more lasting remembrance in his treatises.
Vitruvius
