If I have done any honorable exploit, that is my monument but if I have done none, all your statues will signify nothing.
Agesilaus II
Image
I believe, in spite of all, in truth's victory. I believe in the momentous value, hereafter inviolable, of those few truly fraternal men in all the countries of the world, who, in the oscillation of national egoisms let loose, stand up and stand out, steadfast as the glorious statues of Right and Duty.
Henri Barbusse
Image
Did you see the statue topple? Bill Clinton got nostalgic seeing something that big in a beret go down.
Craig Kilborn
Image
When my journal appears, many statues must come down.
Duke of Wellington
Image
Never stop working on your statue until the divine glory of virtue shines out on you, until you see self-mastery enthroned upon its holy seat.
Plotinus
Image
You'll notice all around the Hindu temples couples, statues and drawings, in various erotic forms of love-making. This used to give the British a lot of trouble because they were kind of white and uptight. It didn't quite fit. How could a temple of God be covered with pictures of people, in their term, fornicating?
Frederick Lenz
Image
Ayn Rand held that art is a 're-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgements.' By its nature, therefore, a novel (like a statue or a symphony) does not require or tolerate an explanatory preface it is a self-contained universe, aloof from commentary, beckoning the reader to enter, perceive, respond.
Leonard Peikoff
Image
A fixed idea is like the iron rod which sculptors put in their statues. It impales and sustains.
Hippolyte Taine
Image
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.
Deborah Levy
Image
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
Image
A marble cutter, with chisel and hammer, was changing a stone into a statue. A preacher looking on said: I wish I could deal such changing blows on stony hearts. The workman answered: Maybe you could, if you worked like me, upon your knees.
Arthur Tappan Pierson
Image
United States: the country where liberty is a statue.
Nicanor Parra
Image
The Lady with the Lamp, the Statue of Liberty, stands in New York Harbour. Her back is squarely turned on the USA. It’s no wonder, considering what she would have to look upon. She would weep, if she had to face this way.
Claudia Jones
Image
Spoons and skimmers you can be undistinguishably together but vases and statues require each a pedestal for itself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Every individual, like a statue, develops in his life the laws of harmony, integrity, and freedom or those of deformity, immorality, and bondage. Whether we wish to or not, we are all drawing our own pictures in the lives we are living.
Harriot Kezia Hunt
Image
Jesus is magic, because he turned water into wine. I think he made the statue of liberty disappear in the 80s or something.
Sarah Silverman
Image
Wasn't Winston Churchill the first black president of America? There's a statue of him near me... that's black.
Danielle O'Hara
Image
The French never allow a distinguished son of France to lack a statue.
E. V. Lucas
Image
It takes courage and intelligence, you know, to do the stages of Yoga right, and to start with this Hatha Yoga… It’s just you and nothing but you, standing in one spot frozen like a statue with no place to go for help or excuse or scapegoat except inward.
Bikram Choudhury
Image
The crime problem in New York is getting really serious. The other day the Statue of Liberty had both hands up.
Jay Leno
Image
Wisdom is for statues. Humor uncaps our inhibitions, unleashes our energies, seals friendships, patches hurts. Laughing is probably the most alive you can be.
James Wolcott
Image
The painter leaves his mark. And I just put in two statues in Rhode Island that I'm working on. And I think that's going to make me last longer than me.
Anthony Quinn
Image
The Statue of Liberty really is profound, I just wish she'd lighten up a bit.
Dov Davidoff

Guantanamo Bay is the anti-Statue of Liberty.
