Stone Quotes

A child lies like a grey pebble on the shore until a certain teacher picks him up and dips him in water, and suddenly you see all the colours and patterns in the dull stone, and it’s marvelous for the stone and marvelous for the teacher Picture Quote #1

In the broad light of day mathematicians check their equations and their proofs, leaving no stone unturned in their search for rigour. But, at night, under the full moon, they dream, they float among the stars and wonder at the miracle of the heavens. They are inspired. Without dreams there is no art, no mathematics, no life Picture Quote #1

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

Life is like fording a river, stepping from one slippery stone to another, and you must rejoice every time you don’t lose your balance, and learn to laugh at all the times you do Picture Quote #1

I am mindful that scientific achievement is rooted in the past, is cultivated to full stature by many contemporaries and flourishes only in favorable environment. No individual is alone responsible for a single stepping stone along the path of progress, and where the path is smooth progress is most rapid. In my own work this has been particularly true Picture Quote #1

The entrée 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

The future is not set in stone, and even if it was, stone can be broken Picture Quote #1

There is an internal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines in our lives. Those who are lucky enough to find it, ease like water over a stone, onto its fluid contours, and are home Picture Quote #1

In my earliest memory, my grandfather is bald as a stone and he takes me to see the tigers Picture Quote #1

From early on I valued the gift of memory above all others. I understood that as we grow older we carry a whole nation around inside of us, places and ways that have disappeared, believing that they are ours, that we alone hold the torch for our past, that we are as impenetrable as stone Picture Quote #1

I stood looking down through the beech trees. When I threw a stone I could count to five before the splash. Then I jumped in a rush of gold to the head, through black and cold, red and cold, brown and warm, giving water the weight and size of myself in order to imagine it, water with my bones, water with my mouth and my understanding. When my body was in some way a wave to swim in, one continuous fin from head to tail, I steered through rapids like a canoe, digging my hands in, keeping just ahead of the river Picture Quote #1

There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you’re a pussy Picture Quote #1

To have regret is to be disappointed with yourself and your choices. Those who are wise, see their life like stepping stones across a great river. Everyone misses a stone from time to time. No one can cross the river without getting wet. Success is measured by your arrival on the other side, not on how muddy your shoes are. Regrets are only felt by those who do not understand life’s purpose. They become so disillusioned that they stand still in the river and do not take the next leap Picture Quote #1

The best way to find out things, if you come to think of it, is not to ask questions at all. If you fire off a question, it is like firing off a gun; bang it goes, and everything takes flight and runs for shelter. But if you sit quite still and pretend not to be looking, all the little facts will come and peck round your feet, situations will venture forth from thickets and intentions will creep out and sun themselves on a stone; and if you are very patient, you will see and understand a great deal more than a man with a gun Picture Quote #1

I have everything I need. A square of sky, a piece of stone, a page, a pen, and memory raining down on me in sleeves Picture Quote #1

A broken heart is not the same as sadness. Sadness occurs when the heart is stone cold and lifeless. On the contrary, there is an unbelievable amount of vitality in a broken heart Picture Quote #1

Summer weather, like being in love,is a philosopher’s stone which turns our ordinary days to gold. But not the whole day... For it is never the whole day, never all our life which is transformed in any happiness, but only the exquisite moments Picture Quote #1

We have progressed from the stone age and moved on to the age of stone hearted people Picture Quote #1

There’s nobody living who couldn’t stand all afternoon in front of a waterfall... Anyone who can sit on a stone in a field awhile can see my painting. Nature is like parting a curtain, you go into it... as you would cross an empty beach to look at the ocean Picture Quote #1

Be kind, be decent, be generous, be tolerant, compassionate, and understanding. Be fast to praise, slow to judge. Remember, we’re all human, and don’t cast the first stone Picture Quote #1

There is life in a stone. Any stone that sits in a field or lies on a beach takes on the memory of that place. You can feel that stones have witnessed so many things 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

A man who is not touched by the earthy lyricism of hot pastrami, the pungent fantasy of corned beef, pickles, frankfurters, the great lusty impertinence of good mustard is a man of stone and without heart Picture Quote #1

What is hateful is not rebellion but the despotism which induces the rebellion; what is hateful are not rebels but the men, who, having the enjoyment of power, do not discharge the duties of power; they are the men who, having the power to redress wrongs, refuse to listen to the petitioners that are sent to them; they are the men who, when they are asked for a loaf, give a stone Picture Quote #1

Light is the photographic medium par excellence; it is to the photographer what words are to the writer; color and paint to the painter; wood, metal, stone, or clay to the sculptor Picture Quote #1

Isen wasn’t a two birds with one stone kind of guy. More like one stone, two birds, a rabbit, a fox, and maybe that deer will trip over the fox and we can get him, too Picture Quote #1

I carve stone. I’ve got hammers and chisels and I carve from sandstone. I just did a big mural of birds and trees Picture Quote #1

I love the way my weight fluctuates in the newspapers. It was 18 stone and then people look at a bad picture of me and add a few more stone on. I think the highest was 22 stone Picture Quote #1

It is said that stone is the affection of old men. That may be so. It is the most challenging to work. A dialogue ensues – of chance no chance, mistakes no mistakes. No erasing or reproduction is possible, at least in the way I work, leaving nature’s mark. It is unique and final Picture Quote #1

The brain is highly structured, but it is also extremely flexible. It’s not a blank slate, but it isn’t written in stone, either Picture Quote #1
