Guessing Stone

Famous quotes containing the words guessing and/or stone:

    A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still: you must not want to see everything.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Painting consumes labour not disproportionate to its effect; but a fellow will hack half a year at a block of marble to make something in stone that hardly resembles a man. The value of statuary is owing to its difficulty. You would not value the finest head cut upon a carrot.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
