Famous quotes containing the words public and/or statues:
“The true poem is not that which the public read. There is always a poem not printed on paper,... in the poets life. It is what he has become through his work. Not how is the idea expressed in stone, or on canvas or paper, is the question, but how far it has obtained form and expression in the life of the artist. His true work will not stand in any princes gallery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“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 (16361674)
