Statues Quotes

No, so God help me, they spake not a word, but, like dumb statues or breathing stones, stared each on other, and looked deadly pale Picture Quote #1

When wasteful war shall statues overturn, and broils root out the work of masonry, nor Mars his sword nor wars quick fire shall burn the living record of your memory Picture Quote #1

The Europeans wanted gold and slaves, like everybody else; but at the same time they wanted statues put up to themselves as people who had done good things for the slaves Picture Quote #1

There are many statues of men slaying lions, but if only the lions were sculptors there might be quite a different set of statues Picture Quote #1

Life comes before literature, as the material always comes before the work. The hills are full of marble before the world blooms with statues Picture Quote #1

There is always a temptation to diddle around in the contemplative life, making itsy bitsy statues Picture Quote #1

The written word has taught me to listen to the human voice, much as the great unchanging statues have taught me to appreciate bodily motions Picture Quote #1

We passed hieroglyphic scrolls, gold jewelry, sarcophagi, statues of pharaohs, and huge chunks of limestone. Why would someone display a rock? Aren’t there enough of those in the world? Picture Quote #1

From my experience, not one in twenty marries the first love; we build statues of snow and weep to see them melt Picture Quote #1

I went to the museum where they had all the heads and arms from the statues that are in all the other museums Picture Quote #1

When I was young, beautiful ancient statues were castrated, so that the eye might not be corrupted... Nothing was gained, unless horses and asses had also been castrated Picture Quote #1

Labor should not be about creating monuments on hills or statues in parks. Labors monuments and statues are when a young person can find a job, when a person with disability can get access to the ordinary life that others take for granted Picture Quote #1

The scope of art is practically boundless; it does not begin and end with the painting of pictures and the modeling of statues; where there is room for workmanship there is room for it Picture Quote #1

A fixed idea is like the iron rod which sculptors put in their statues. It impales and sustains Picture Quote #1

The gods gave me a father who ruled over me and rid me of any trace of arrogance and showed me that one can live in a palace without bodyguards, extravagant attire, chandeliers, statues, and other luxuries. He taught me that it is possible to live instead pretty much in the manner of a private citizen without losing any of the dignity and authority a ruler must possess to discharge his imperial duties effectively Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When the wise man opens his mouth, the beauties of his soul present themselves to the view, like the statues in a temple Picture Quote #1

Like the sorcerer of old, the television set casts its magic spell, freezing speech and action, turning the living into silent statues so long as the enchantment lasts. The primary danger of the television screen lies not so much in the behavior it produces, although there is danger there, as in the behavior it prevents: the talks, the games, the family festivities... through which much of the child’s learning takes place and through which his character is formed. Turning on the television set can turn off the process that transforms children into people Picture Quote #1

When men die, they enter history. When statues die, they enter art. This botany of death is what we call culture Picture Quote #1

As we manipulate everyday words, we forget that they are fragments of ancient and eternal stories, that we are building our houses with broken pieces of sculptures and ruined statues of gods as the barbarians did Picture Quote #1

Nothing can take the sting out of the world’s economic problems like watching millionaires present each other with golden statues Picture Quote #1

I have never got a grip on when the past begins or where it ends, but if cities map the past with statues made from bronze forever frozen in one dignified position, as much as I try to make the past keep still and mind its manners, it moves and murmurs with me through every day Picture Quote #1

Heroes are not giant statues framed against a red sky. They are people who say: This is my community, and it’s my responsibility to make it better Picture Quote #1

Heroes and scholars represent the opposite extremes... The scholar struggles for the benefit of all humanity, sometimes to reduce physical effort, sometimes to reduce pain, and sometimes to postpone death, or at least render it more bearable. In contrast, the patriot sacrifices a rather substantial part of humanity for the sake of his own prestige. His statue is always erected on a pedestal of ruins and corpses... In contrast, all humanity crowns a scholar, love forms the pedestal of his statues, and his triumphs defy the desecration of time and the judgment of history Picture Quote #1

Nothing so clearly and inevitably reveals the inner man than movement and gesture. It is quite possible, if one chooses, to conceal and dissimulate behind words or paintings or statues or other forms of human expression, but the moment you move you stand revealed, for good or ill, for what you are Picture Quote #1

Politicians are propaganda, the people with guns are the enforcers and the media is the enthusiastic lapdog who enables the entire behavior and acts as the verbal abuser against those who deviate from nodding their heads at the vast statues of evil that we inherited Picture Quote #1
