Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or roses:
“Rationalists are admirable beings, rationalism is a hideous monster when it claims for itself omnipotence. Attribution of omnipotence to reason is as bad a piece of idolatry as is worship of stock and stone believing it to be God. I plead not for the suppression of reason, but for a due recognition of that in us which sanctifies reason.”
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
“You prefer a woman under the earth,
you heap roses above a grave;
a woman under the earth
is safe,
a woman dead
is beloved.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
