White Stone Marked

Famous quotes containing the words white, stone and/or marked:

    “A decent chap, a real good sort,
    Straight as a die, one of the best,
    A brick, a trump, a proper sport,
    Head and shoulders above the rest;
    How many lives would have been duller
    Had he not been here below?
    Here’s to the whitest man I know
    Though white is not my favourite colour.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Prudent dullness marked him for a mayor.”
    —Charles Churchill (1731–1764)
