Granite Sea

Famous quotes containing the words granite and/or sea:

    Man’s own youth is the world’s youth; at least he feels as if it were, and imagines that the earth’s granite substance is something not yet hardened, and which he can mould into whatever shape he likes.
    Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)

    All are delectable. Sweet sweet sweet
    But resign this land at the end, resign it
    To its true owner, the tough one, the sea gull.
    The palaver is finished.
