A stone is ingrained with geological and historical memories. Andy Goldsworthy

The mercy of a stone is in asking no mercy.

Stone is more stony than it used to be. In general we no longer understand architecture... at least we do not do so nearly as well as we understand music. We have grown out of the symbolism of lines and figures, just as we have weaned ourselves from the sound-effects of rhetoric, and no longer imbibe this kind of cultural mother's milk from the first moment of our lives. Everything in a Greek or Christian building originally signified something, and indeed something of a higher order of things: this feeling of inexhaustible significance lay about the building like a magical veil. Beauty entered this sytem only incidentally, without essentially encroaching upon the fundamental sense of the uncanny and exalted, of consecration by magic and the proximity of the divine... at most beauty mitigated the dread but this dread was everywhere the presupposition. What is the beauty of a building to us today' The same thing as the beautiful face of a mindless woman: something mask-like. (nietzsche 'human all too' : 101)

is distinguished from a rock in rocks you clamber over while stones you step on.

Let us explain to ourselves the difference. A rock might be very big, like Plymouth Rock or the Rock of Gibraltar. Or underground, as in bedrock. A rock is rough. A stone is smooth: it might well be cut into a gravestone, a cobblestone. Rocks you clamber over, stones you step on. What’s that brilliance on her finger, a rock or a stone? The rock-thrower is anonymous. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

is distinguished from a rock in that a rock is rough while a stone is smooth.
