Famous quotes containing the words granite and/or rocks:
“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“Another time I go outside
Into the world. It rocks on and on.
It was rocking before I saw it
And is presumably doing so still.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
