"I, here I lie, left in the darkness here to die. Here alone, all so cold, everything has turned to stone. And as I cry, the pain in me, will tear a hole in my fantasy. In this world, all alone, in this world of tragedy."

― The Enigma TNG - World of Tragedy

"To stone with you!"

― Vaati (The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap)

""The Living shall not be put to Death," thus the catechism says. A magus walks out in mist, into nothingness, and so perishes! Pah! What punishment is that compared to being turned to living stone? Wearing out the ageless days of your existence, gnawed at always by wind and water and the memories of what it was to be alive!"

― Anya (Forging the Darksword)

"Defeated by an ugly crone, from mortal man to standing stone, with sun and rain upon you blown, through carven locks the wind shall moan, here you will be through years unknown, and slowly crumble when time has flown."
