Quotes about rock
rocks self cells
Some people spend their whole lives looking for themselves, yet our self is the one thing we surely cannot lose (how like a cheap philosopher I am become, staying in this benighted place). From the moment we are conceived it is the pattern in our blood and our bones are printed through with it like sticks of seaside rock.

Kate Atkinson

rocks sea light
the Sahara was a spectacle as alive as the sea.
