Famous quotes containing the words deer and/or stone:

    A deer in the body of a woman, living resentfully in the Hollywood zoo.
    Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)

    Ye could not know where lies a thing so fair,
    No stone is there to show, no tongue to say,
    What was; no dirge, except the hollow sea’s,
    Mourns o’er the beauty of the Cyclades.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
