Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or stone:

    “When the Day of Judgement dawns and the great conquerors and lawyers and statesmen come to receive their rewards—their crowns, their laurels, their names carved indelibly upon imperishable marble—the Almighty will turn to Peter and will say, not without a certain envy when he sees us coming with our books under our arms, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them here. They have loved reading.””
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “Wouldst thou hear what man can say
    In a little? Reader, stay.
    Underneath this stone doth lie
    As much beauty as could die;”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
