Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or flower:

    “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)

    “and men strive with each other not for power or the accumulation of paper
    but in joy create for others the house, the poem, the game of
    athletic beauty.

    Then washed in the brightness of the vision,
    I saw how in its radiance would grow and be nourished and suddenly
    burst into terrible and splendid bloom
    the blood-red flower of revolution.”
    —Dudley Randall (b. 1914)
