Quotes About Petrification

My cat has been Petrified.I want to see some punishment!
~ Argus Flich, J.K.Rowling
The typical accountant is a man, past middle age, spare, wrinkled, intelligent, cold, passive, non-committal, with eyes like a cod-fish; polite in contact but at the same time unresponsive, calm and damnably composed as a concrete post or a plaster of Paris cast; a petrification with a heart of feldspar and without charm of the friendly germ, minus bowels, passion or a sense of humor. Happily they never reproduce and all of them finally go to Hell.
~ Elbert Hubbard
Wars are terrible, but necessary, for they save the state from social petrification and stagnation
~ Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
By all evidence we are in the world to do nothing; but instead of nonchalantly promenading our corruption, we exude our sweat and grow winded upon the fetid air. All History is in a state of petrification; its odours shift toward the future: we rush toward it, if only for the fever inherent in any decomposition.
~ Emil M. Cioran
