Stones Quotes

There is scarce a cave, an isolated rock, a lone pine tree or a pile of stones without supporting folklore Picture Quote #1

Our good works are like stones cast into the pool of time; though the stones themselves may disappear, their ripples extend to eternity Picture Quote #1

Jesus’s first temptation was to be relevant: to turn stones into bread. Oh, how often I wished I could do that! Picture Quote #1

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can make me think I deserved it Picture Quote #1

With great difficulty advancing by millimeters each year, I carve a road out of the rock. For millenniums my teeth have wasted and my nails broken to get there, to the other side, to the light and the open air. And now that my hands bleed and my teeth tremble, unsure in a cavity cracked by thirst and dust, I pause and contemplate my work. I have spent the second part of my life breaking the stones, drilling the walls, smashing the doors, removing the obstacles I placed between the light and myself in the first part of my life Picture Quote #1

I have tried, with little success, to get some of my friends to understand my amazement that the abstraction of integers for counting is both possible and useful. Is it not remarkable that 6 sheep plus 7 sheep makes 13 sheep; that 6 stones plus 7 stones make 13 stones? Is it not a miracle that the universe is so constructed that such a simple abstraction as a number is possible? To me this is one of the strongest examples of the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics. Indeed, I find it both strange and unexplainable Picture Quote #1

One’s mind and the earth are in a constant state of erosion, mental rivers wear away abstract banks, brain waves undermine cliffs of thought, ideas decompose into stones of unknowing, and conceptual crystallizations break apart into deposits of gritty reason Picture Quote #1

My desk is covered with talismans: pieces of rose quartz, wishing stones from a favorite beach Picture Quote #1

I want the world to see, you can have a million stones thrown at you and you can still be positive Picture Quote #1

I’ve begun to appreciate the generational patterns that ripple out from our lives like stones dropped in water, pulsing outward even after we are gone. Although we have but one childhood, we relive it first through our children’s and then our grandchildren’s eyes Picture Quote #1

There are few gardens that can be left alone. A few years of neglect and only the skeleton of a garden can be traced... Japanese artists working with a few stones and sand four hundred years ago achieved strangely lasting compositions. However there, too, but for the hands that have piously raked the white sand into patterns and controlled the spread of moss and lichens, little would remain Picture Quote #1

My parents said sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you. But I always felt a sense of exhilaration after a fight; it was the names that really hurt me Picture Quote #1

Calcification is the hardening of body tissues by calcium salts or deposits. Although calcification itself is not considered a disease, it has been shown to be a significant contributing factor in nearly every known illness and aging condition, including heart disease, kidney stones, gallstones, chronic inflammation, arthritis, cancers, cataracts, eczema, psoriasis, and even wrinkles Picture Quote #1

A diamond, which is the hardest of stones, not yielding unto steel, emery or any other thing, is yet made soft by the blood of a goat Picture Quote #1

Death is the gate of life. Ingratitude is the soul’s enemy... Ingratitude is a burning wind that dries up the source of love, the dew of mercy, the streams of grace. You will find something far greater in the woods than you will find in books. Stones and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters Picture Quote #1

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising Picture Quote #1

If thou shouldst paint mountains in a good style and to look natural, take some large stones full of cracks and copy them Picture Quote #1

I have a low opinion of books: they are piles of stones set up to show coming travelers where other minds have been, or at best signal smokes to call attention Picture Quote #1

If you throw one stone, it’s a punishable offence. If 1,000 stones are thrown, it’s political action. If you set a car on fire, it’s a punishable offence. If hundreds of cars are set on fire, it’s political action. Protest is when I say I don’t agree with something. Resistance is when I ensure that things with which I disagree no longer take place Picture Quote #1

I have always thought of poems as stepping stones in one’s own sense of oneself Picture Quote #1

The temple of truth is built indeed of stones of crystal, but, inasmuch as men have been concerned in rearing it, it has been consolidated by a cement composed of baser materials Picture Quote #1

Some questions cannot be answered. They become familiar weights in the hand, round stones pulled from the pocket, unyielding and cool Picture Quote #1

A person is full of sorrow the way a burlap sack is full of stones or sand Picture Quote #1

The world is a stone wall... and they have put the stones so close together that there is not a single crack through which one may enter Picture Quote #1

Geniuses were like storms or cyclones, pulling everything into their path, sticks and stones and dust Picture Quote #1

One cannot lay a foundation by scattering stones, nor is a reputation for good work to be got by strewing volumes about the world Picture Quote #1

Life itself is not the reality. We are the ones who put life into stones and pebbles Picture Quote #1

In the way that I experience life, the physical world is really just the tip of the iceberg of reality. Whether it’s trees or stones or water or animals or stars, everything has an ineffable interior quality Picture Quote #1

I never saw daffodils so beautiful. They grew among the mossy stones about and above them; some rested their heads upon these stones, as on a pillow, for weariness Picture Quote #1

Experience may be hard but we claim its gifts because they are real, even though our feet bleed on its stones Picture Quote #1
