Cast in stone?




Men admire the man who can organise his wishes and thoughts in stone and wood and steel and brass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nothing is built on stone; all is built on sand, but we must build as if the sand were stone.
Jorge Luis Borges

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.
Henry Rollins


Thinking about permanence. The meaning. The weight. And the absence thereof.

There is no permanence in substance - panta rei. :-)

There are some nice pictures there and I particularly like the quote about building on sand as if building on stone.
