Standing Rock

Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or rock:

“The need to become a separate self is as urgent as the yearning to merge forever. And as long as we, not our mother, initiate parting, and as long as our mother remains reliably there, it seems possible to risk, and even to revel in, standing alone.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)

“each rock a word
a creek-washed stone
Granite: ingrained
with torment of fire and weight”
