Famous quotes containing the word statues:

    “And are not men than they more blind,
    Who having eyes yet never find
    The bliss in which they move:
    Like statues dead
    They up and down are carried,
    Yet neither see nor love.”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    “America loves the representation of its heroes to be not just larger than life, but stupendously, awesomely bigger than anything else. If blue whales built statues to each other they’d be smaller then these.”
    —Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
