Quarry Quotations
Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character.
Samuel Butler
From the top of the quarry cliffs, one could see the New Jersey suburbs bordered by the New York City skyline.
Robert Smithson
I am not 'in pursuit of truth.' It is not my 'quarry.' I am of my human nature a thinker, and conscious of need, responsibility of thinking-speaking with truth. I do not go about hunting 'truths.'
Laura Riding
I guess I look like a rock quarry that someone has dynamited.
Charles Bronson
The good historian is like the giant of the fairy tale. He knows that wherever he catches the scent of human flesh, there his quarry lies.
Marc Bloch
I look like a quarry someone has dynamited.
Charles Bronson
