What is stone?

Famous quotes containing the word stone:

    They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body.

    And why they seek it there; for what I search
    I must go measuring stone walls, perch on perch....

    It was a cruel city, but it was a lovely one, a savage city, yet it had such tenderness, a bitter, harsh, and violent catacomb of stone and steel and tunneled rock, slashed savagely with light, and roaring, fighting a constant ceaseless warfare of men and of machinery; and yet it was so sweetly and so delicately pulsed, as full of warmth, of passion, and of love, as it was full of hate.
    Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938)
