1 AnswerOther - Television4 years agoQuote: "One wishes to throw stones at gods..."?
I'm trying to remember a quote from somewhere that goes something like this:
"One wants to throw stones at idols (or gods or statues), but there are no stones and no idols..."
I think it refers to a general frustration that one can't do anything about.
All I could find on the web was the throwing stones in glass houses quote.
