Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or tools:
“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)
“Man is a tool-using animal.... Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.”
