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)

    We shall exchange our material thinking for something quite different, and we shall all be kin. We shall all be enfranchised, prohibition will prevail, many wrongs will be righted, vampires and grafters and slackers will be relegated to a class by themselves, stiff necks will limber up, hearts of stone will be changed to hearts of flesh, and little by little we shall begin to understand each other.
