Stone Mites

Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or mites:

    “Here, the churches seemed to shrink away into eroding corners. They seem to have ceased to be essential parts of American life. They no longer give life. It is the huge buildings of commerce and trade which now align the people to attention. These in their massive manner of steel and stone say, Come unto me all ye who labour, and we will give you work.”
    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    “Dead men may envy living mites in cheese,
    Or good germs even. Microbes have their joys,
    And subdivide, and never come to death.”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
