Famous quotes containing the word stone:
“Converse: Don’t they say that this is where everybody finds out who they are? Huh?
Hicks: Yeah. What a bummer for the gooks.”
—Judith Rascoe, U.S. screenwriter, Robert Stone (b. 1939)
“Certainly ordinary language has no claim to be the last word, if there is such a thing. It embodies, indeed, something better than the metaphysics of the Stone Age, namely, as was said, the inherited experience and acumen of many generations of men.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“You cannot go into any field or wood, but it will seem as if every stone had been turned, and the bark on every tree ripped up. But, after all, it is much easier to discover than to see when the cover is off. It has been well said that “the attitude of inspection is prone.” Wisdom does not inspect, but behold.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
