(on Marilyn Monroe) Breasts like granite and a brain like Swiss cheese.
- Billy WilderA lot of people don`t understand what it takes to actually do an entire deal. I`ve seen people get involved with renovation projects that cost more than they initially thought. A lot try to do their own general contracting to decrease the cost. Then they find they can`t put in the new granite countertops because the cabinet guys haven`t installed the cabinets yet. I`ve seen people underestimate what it takes to sell a property. They underestimate the holding costs, the mortgage, insurance, selling expenses, taxes. They think, `If I sell it for $500,000 and buy it for $350,000, I`ll make $150,000.` It`s not like that.
- John BealNobody sees Granite Hills as a basketball school. But we`re the real deal this year.
- Nick TaylorTypically you`ll get an all new kitchen with cherry cabinets and granite counter-tops. Stainless steel appliances are a big seller right now.
- Michael CraigMany parts of the granite statues were found, the most important of which had features close to Ramses II. The statue needs some restoration and weighs between four and five tons.
- Zahi HawassThere are lighter colors of granite and I like to break the rules.
- Douglas WilsonThey wanted this one. This is a big game for us. They beat us 1-0 last time and got a goal late in the third period and we had another chance at them and we got it. Now, all we have to do is go beat Granite City. They beat us this season, and we still have one more shot at them, too.
- Jason WalkerThey were found in a crevasse. I think the peak was 7,000 feet. The plane hit at 6,500 feet and fell into a granite notch so one could see it.
- Anthony StasioThe block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong
- Thomas Carlyle“We placed the wreaths upon the splendid granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us, loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe, yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!”
- Queen Victoria
