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

Amit Abraham

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.

Pablo Picasso

"Bombing Afghanistan back into the Stone Age" was quite a favourite headline for some wobbly liberals. The slogan does all the work. But an instant's thought shows that Afghanistan is being, if anything, bombed OUT of the Stone Age.

Christopher Hitchens

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

Ahmed Zaki Yamani

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

Reed Hastings

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

Karl Pilkington

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

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.

Gerald Stanley Lee

Idolatry is not simply worshiping a stone image; idolatry is any concept of God that reduces Him to less than who He really is.

Ron Carlson

A woman should not have to fear retribution from her employer, and the District of Columbia should be able to pass laws to protect against that retribution.

Jan Schakowsky

Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. If this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only I stone, I stone, I stone. But perhaps it cannot even say I. It thinks: Stone, stone, stone... God enjoys being All, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself.

Umberto Eco

If you really want to go after something, you have to keep hammering at the stone whether or not the first hit or the 100th hit breaks the stone. You've got to believe that the stone is going to break.

Spencer Dinwiddie

What I look for in theater, I really like new work, and I really like the concept of age not necessarily being a defining aspect of who you are or how you act.

Maura Tierney

If civilization has risen from the Stone Age, it can rise again from the Wastepaper Age.

Jacques Barzun

To me, what's really important about the Green New Deal isn't, like, one of the elements of it: it's the concept. It's the concept that we have a national emergency commensurate with a depression or a war. And then the second part of it, the concept that, in rising to meet that challenge, there's a ton of economic opportunity.

Pete Buttigieg
