Famous quotes containing the words public and/or statues:

    “Once, when lying in bed with no paper at hand, he began to sketch the idea for a new machine on the back of his wife’s nightgown. He asked her if she knew the figure he was drawing. “Yes,” she answered, “the figure of a fool.””
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “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)
