Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or blackwell:
“Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Cynicism makes things worse than they are in that it makes permanent the current condition, leaving us with no hope of transcending it. Idealism refuses to confront reality as it is but overlays it with sentimentality. What cynicism and idealism share in common is an acceptance of reality as it is but with a bad conscience.”
—Richard Stivers, U.S. sociologist, educator. The Culture of Cynicism: American Morality in Decline, ch. 1, Blackwell (1994)
