Famous quotes containing the words rolling stones, rolling, stones and/or rock:
“... in the cities there are thousands of rolling stones like me. We are all alike; we have no ties, we know nobody, we own nothing. When one of us dies, they scarcely know where to bury him.... We have no house, no place, no people of our own. We live in the streets, in the parks, in the theatres. We sit in restaurants and concert halls and look about at the hundreds of our own kind and shudder.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“This whole moment is the groin
Of a borborygmic giant who even now
Is rolling over on us in his sleep.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“I know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll but I like it.”
—Mick Jagger (b. 1943)
