《南齐书·列传·卷二十二》
乐蔼又给右率沈约写信说：宣扬忠烈，书籍有时早早腐朽，德高而没有记述，金石更不能永不磨灭。
蔼又与右率沈约书曰： 夫道宣余烈，竹帛有时先朽；德孚遗事，金石更非后亡。
Yue wrote to Youyue again, saying: To commemorate the loyal and courageous, books may sometimes decay long ago, though their virtue is supreme and has not been recorded, gold and stone could not be wiped out forever.
