We may be living in the twentieth century, in resplendent sophistication. But deep down, most of us find ourselves still in the Stone Age of superstition.

Helen Hayes

My solution to the problem would be to tell [the North Vietnamese Communists] frankly that they've got to draw in their horns and stop their aggression or we're going to bomb them into the Stone Age. And we would shove them back into the Stone Age with Air power or Naval power - not with ground forces.

Curtis LeMay

...it is so silly of people to fancy that old age means crookedness and witheredness and feebleness and sticks and spectacles and rheumatism and forgetfulness! It is so silly! Old age has nothing whatever to do with all that. The right old age means strength and beauty and mirth and courage and clear eyes and strong painless limbs.

George MacDonald

We have progressed from the stone age and moved on to the age of stone hearted people

I don't think I'm wrong when I say that the most beautiful objects of the "stone age" were made of skin, fabric, and especially wood. The "stone age" ought to be called the "wood age." How many African statues are made of stone, bone, or ivory? Maybe one in a thousand! And prehistoric man had no more ivory at his disposal than African tribes. Maybe even less. He must have had thousands of wooden fetishes, all gone now.

The Stone Age did not end for lack of stone, and the Oil Age will end long before the world runs out of oil.

Living in Baltimore at age 11, I was still not single-focused on tennis. I still played other sports. It was becoming a bigger part of my life, but it was still mainly my summer hobby.

Pam Shriver

Short chaps evolved naturally, but I didn't title and number them till much later. I like short chaps, like short books too, as a rule.

Poe Ballantine

Stone Age. Bronze Age. Iron Age. We define entire epics of humanity by the technology they use.

Reed Hastings

Shamanism is essentially a living tradition of alchemy that is not seeking the stone but has found the stone.

Terence McKenna

We've had the Iron Age, the Stone Age, this is the pissin' about age.

Karl Pilkington

We have had the stone age; we have had the iron age; and now we have the sky age, and the sky telegraph, and sky men, and sky cities. Mountains of stone are built out of men's visions. Towers and skyscrapers swing up out of their wills and up out of their hearts.
