Bronze Age Rock

Famous quotes containing the words bronze, age and/or rock:

    What will our children remember of us, ten, fifteen years from now? The mobile we bought or didn’t buy? Or the tone in our voices, the look in our eyes, the enthusiasm for life—and for them—that we felt? They, and we, will remember the spirit of things, not the letter. Those memories will go so deep that no one could measure it, capture it, bronze it, or put it in a scrapbook.
    Sonia Taitz (20th century)

    Then let yourself love all that you take delight in
    Accept yourself whole, accept the heritage
    That shaped you and is passed on from age to age
    Down to your entity. Remain mysterious;
    Rather than be pure, accept yourself as numerous.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    So there he is at last. Man on the moon. The poor magnificent bungler! He can’t even get to the office without undergoing the agonies of the damned, but give him a little metal, a few chemicals, some wire and twenty or thirty billion dollars and, vroom! there he is, up on a rock a quarter of a million miles up in the sky.
    Russell Baker (b. 1925)
