Famous quotes containing the words granite and/or city:

    “We placed the wreaths upon the splended granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us—loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe—yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!”
    —Victoria (1819–1901)

    “Union of the weakest develops strength
    Not wisdom. Can all men, together, avenge
    One of the leaves that have fallen in autumn?
    But the wise man avenges by building his city in snow.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
