Clay Tablets

Famous quotes containing the words clay and/or tablets:

“When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted
For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
So, to fill out her model, a little she spared
From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared,
And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
For making him fully and perfectly man.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

“Inscribe it in the remembering tablets of your mind.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
