Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or circle:

    “At first your mother said . . . why me! why me!
    But she got over that. Now she enjoys
    her dull daily care and her hectic bravery.
    You do not love anyone. She is not growing a boy;
    she is enlarging a stone to wear around her neck.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Men go out to admire the heights of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the broadest spans of rivers, the circle of ocean, the revolutions of stars, and leave themselves behind.”
    —St. Augustine (354–430)
