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 (16361674)
“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 theyd be smaller then these.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
“Theres a wonderful family called Stein:
Theres Gert and theres Ep and theres Ein.
Gerts poems are bunk,
Eps statues are junk,
And no-one can understand Ein.”
