Famous quotes containing the word stone:

“Ye could not know where lies a thing so fair,
No stone is there to show, no tongue to say,
What was; no dirge, except the hollow sea’s,
Mourns o’er the beauty of the Cyclades.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“I have no more cheap morals to draw from all this death.”
—Judith Rascoe, U.S. screenwriter, Robert Stone (b. 1939)
