Imagine painting all the statues in the world in the color of the sky
Yoko Ono

Then something occurred to me. Get closer, I told Blackjack. He whinnied in protest. Just within shouting distance, I said. I need to talk to the statue. Now I'm sure you've lost it, boss, Blackjack said
Rick Riordan

The statue lies hid in a block of marble and the art of the statuary only clears away the superfluous matter, and removes the rubbish.
Joseph Addison

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.

And indeed it was, the arrow still protruding from its wet, grayish skin, humping its body along with incredible speed.

Cassandra Clare

Why would anyone even bring up the issue (of the statues) in a country where there are more than 10 state-owned institutions that teach sculpting and more than 20 others that teach the history of art?

...It looked very different from the Statue of Liberty, but what did that matter? What was the good of having the statue without the liberty, the freedom to go where one chose if one was held back by one's color? No, I preferred the Eiffel Tower, which made no promises. ~ Josephine Baker, once she had seen the Eiffel Tower
Josephine Baker

One day you're the statue. One day you're the pigeon.

We have the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast. But in the name of freedom, people have done a lot of damage. I think we have to build a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast in order to counterbalance. Because liberty without responsibility is not true liberty. We are not free to destroy.

The statue of Freedom has not been cast yet, the furnace is hot, we can all still burn our fingers.
Georg Buchner
Image
But have you wine and music still,And statues and a bright-eyed love,And foolish thoughts of good and ill,And prayers to them who sit above?
James Elroy Flecker
Image
