Famous quotes containing the words buddha and/or statues:

    “The vast silence of Buddha overtakes
    and overrules the oncoming roar
    of tragic life that fills alleys and avenues;
    it blocks the way of pedicabs, police, convoys.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Art is the need to create; but in its essence, immense and universal, it is impatient of working with lame or tied hands, and of making cripples and monsters, such as all pictures and statues are. Nothing less than the creation of man and nature is its end.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
