Stone Quotes

For too long, decisions have been taken behind closed doors - tablets of stone have simply been past down to people without bothering to involve people, listen to their views or give them information about what we are doing and why Picture Quote #1

The hardest thing I’ve had to overcome was being from my small coal-mining town of Big Stone Gap, Virginia. My mother was a coal miner for nineteen years, and the expectations of making it out of my town were slim to none Picture Quote #1

The proud, the cold untroubled heart of stone, that never mused on sorrow but its own Picture Quote #1

When I graduated from high school, I weighed 125 pounds because of wrestling. Suddenly, I realized I could eat whatever I wanted - plus, creatine was new at the time. I went from 125 to 175 pounds, working out like crazy. I was yoked. But I wasn’t drinking enough fluids and ended up with a kidney stone - and 3 weeks of pure hell Picture Quote #1

Travelers are fantasists, conjurers, seers - and what they finally discover is that every round object everywhere is a crystal ball: stone, teapot, the marvelous globe of the human eye Picture Quote #1

As much as I hate his movies, Oliver Stone has an aspiration I admire, and that is that he wants his art to be part of what makes and changes public policy and cultural practice Picture Quote #1

Other sound than the owl’s voice there was none, save the falling of a fountain into its stone basin; for, it was one of those dark nights that hold their breath by the hour together, and then heave a long low sigh, and hold their breath again Picture Quote #1

There’s a certain darkness to Slipknot, but at the same time, there’s a very strong dose of positivity. Stone Sour is the same way. There’s a certain melancholy that comes with the slower stuff, but at the end of the day there’s also that other side that is very positive. It’s all how you deliver Picture Quote #1

Up against Goliath, to bring butter home. I’m David on pavement, sling another stone Picture Quote #1

Our job if you will, is to roll the stone away. God’s job is to raise the dead Picture Quote #1

The poets’ scrolls will outlive the monuments of stone. Genius survives; all else is claimed by death Picture Quote #1

Trust, is the stone thrown into the sea, sinking deep in all its murkiness, unable to see what it once lived and believed to be a promise Picture Quote #1

Why do so many children love the idea of being snowed in or shipwrecked, of having to survive on one’s own? When I was a child, I was no exception. I wanted to hunt with a bow and arrow like the Stone Age people: to skin deer and build my own shelter. And I desperately wanted a wolf. As we lived in London, my options were limited Picture Quote #1

Man is alone everywhere. But the solitude of the Mexican, under the great stone night of the high plateau that is still inhabited by insatiable gods, is very different from that of the North American, who wanders in an abstract world of machines, fellow citizens and moral precepts Picture Quote #1

I’ve become so earthy. And I never was earthy. I’m doing all kinds of different roles which are not at all like the intellectual and the legal mind of Ben Stone Picture Quote #1

I don’t see my show as a stepping stone to something else like some people, who get a job then have a foot out the door looking for their next job Picture Quote #1

By constant dripping, water hollows stone, A signet-ring from use alone grows thin, And the curved plowshare by soft earth is worn Picture Quote #1

The drops of rain make a hole in the stone not by violence but by oft falling Picture Quote #1

No one can attain to truth by himself. Only by laying stone on stone with the cooperation of all, by the millions of generations from our forefather Adam to our own times, is that temple reared which is to be a worthy dwelling place of the Great God Picture Quote #1

I had been an abject fan of Robert Stone since the early eighties, when I borrowed a copy of ‘A Flag for Sunrise’ to read on a plane to Rome. I was twenty-something, with a first novel under my belt Picture Quote #1

The elixir of life, the philosopher’s stone is yours if you surrender sterile logic, trivial reason Picture Quote #1

My background was always more soulful pop. I was named after Ella Fitzgerald, and when I was a kid, I was listening to Lauryn Hill, Etta James, Joss Stone. For me, it was always about the voice Picture Quote #1

I’m a fan of Oliver Stone. I like his movies, I like his excess, and I think he has a great capacity for empathy and it comes out more powerfully in this movie than in any of his other films, even the formal ‘I’m identifying with the underdog’ movies like ‘Born on the Fourth of July.’ Picture Quote #1

I found many treasures in the woods over the years: shotgun shells, empty Colt 45 bottles, old railroad spikes, orange and black beetles eating a dead mouse, pebbles that looked just like teeth, old stone walls and cellar holes, a rusted out frying pan, the skull of a cat Picture Quote #1

Goodbye Darcy, goodbye Jean, goodbye stone cottage, scratchy towels, fields of wildflowers; good bye gorgeous Peak District ... OK English People, for your own good, get off the roads, here we come! Picture Quote #1

I wish to say to you that the life of an enlightened people and a vibrant nation cannot be measured by the life of an individual. A successful person is one who manages to lay down a new stone, a brick that would help firm up his nation’s existence Picture Quote #1

The entrÃƒÂ©e wasn’t tender enough to be a paving stone and the gravy couldn’t have been primordial soup because morphogenesis was already taking place Picture Quote #1

Like the alchemist of old, for ever searching for the philosopher’s stone, the analyst to-day never stops looking for stronger moves to prevent the defender from establishing equality Picture Quote #1

The most excellent symbol of the people is the paving stone. One walks on it until it falls on one’s head Picture Quote #1

Forgiving ourselves and learning from our inevitable mistakes transforms failure from a stumbling block into a stepping stone Picture Quote #1
