Famous quotes containing the words black, rock and/or point:
“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“Margaret: Some people have life made for them.
Frank: Thats right, Mrs. Hammond, and some people make it for themselves. Its about time you took that ton of rock off your shoulders.”
—David Storey (b. 1933)
“God is the tangential point between zero and infinity.”
—Alfred Jarry (18731907)
