"Son," said the old man," hast thou then never read,
'When men are dumb, the stones shall cry aloud'?—
Henceforward mock not, son, the word of God!
Living it is, and mighty, cutting sharp,
Like a two-edged sword. And when the heart
Of flesh grows hard and stubborn as the stone,
A heart of flesh shall stir in stones themselves!

Additional quotes by Ludwig Gotthard Kosegarten
Sich," sprach der Greis, "hast du denn nicht gelesen:
Wenn Menschen schweigen, werden Steine schreien?
Nicht spotte ferner, Sohn, mit Gottes Wort!
Lebendig ist es, kräftig, schneidet scharf,
Wie ein zweischneidig Schwert, und sollte gleich
Das Menschenherz sich ihm zum Trotz versteinen.
So wird im Stein ein Menschenherz sich regen.
