Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:

    “It is only when we are very happy that we can bear to gaze merrily upon the vast and limitless expanse of water, rolling on and on with such persistent, irritating monotony, to the accompaniment of our thoughts, whether grave or gay. When they are gay, the waves echo their gaiety; but when they are sad, then every breaker, as it rolls, seems to bring additional sadness, and to speak to us of hopelessness and of the pettiness of all our joys.”
    —Emmuska, Baroness Orczy (1865–1947)

    “I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
