Statue Quotes

One should never become devoted to a teacher, any more than one should become devoted to a statue of a God. There is only one thing to be devoted to, and that is your mind Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m fat, but I’m thin inside. Has it ever struck you that there’s a thin man inside every fat man, just as they say there’s a statue inside every block of stone? Picture Quote #1

I see before me the statue of a celebrated minister, who said that confidence was a plant of slow growth. But I believe, however gradual may be the growth of confidence, that of credit requires still more time to arrive at maturity Picture Quote #1

If you have a statue in the city centre you could go past it every day on your way to school and never even notice it, right. But as soon as someone puts a traffic cone on its head, you’ve made your own sculpture Picture Quote #1

Coming near him like a ballet dancer she took a leap towards him, and he, frightened by her vehemence, and fearing that she would crash against him, instinctively became absolutely rigid, and she felt herself embracing a statue Picture Quote #1

How sad it must be for you to be nothing more than a hollow statue, to have your tomb preserved and your story forgotten Picture Quote #1

In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it Picture Quote #1

I must dissent emphatically from any proposal to spend any money on preparing a statue of me, more especially at a time when people do not have enough food and clothing Picture Quote #1

I had rather men should ask why my statue is not set up, than why it is Picture Quote #1

No one has ever built a statue to a critic, it’s true. On the other hand, it’s only the people with statues that get pooped on by birds flying by Picture Quote #1

In building a statue, a sculptor doesn’t keep adding clay to his subject. Actually, he keeps chiseling away at the nonessentials until the truth of his creation is revealed without obstruction Picture Quote #1

History fades into fable; fact becomes clouded with doubt and controversy; the inscription molders from the tablet: the statue falls from the pedestal. Columns, arches, pyramids, what are they but heaps of sand; and their epitaphs, but characters written in the dust? Picture Quote #1

Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one’s future must be hewn Picture Quote #1

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts Picture Quote #1

... knowledge must continually be renewed by ceaseless effort, if it is not to be lost. It resembles a statue of marble which stands in the desert and is continually threatened with burial by the shifting sand. The hands of service must ever be at work, in order that the marble continue to lastingly shine in the sun. To these serving hands mine shall also belong Picture Quote #1

Every piece of marble has a statue in it waiting to be released by a person of sufficient skill to chip away the unnecessary parts. Just as the sculptor is to the marble, so is education to the soul. It releases it. For only educated people are free people. You cannot create a statue by smashing the marble with a hammer, and you cannot by the force of arms release the spirit or the soul of people Picture Quote #1

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day be day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right Picture Quote #1

When I got a telly we had no aerial, but I discovered that if I or one of the children stood by it you could get a picture. So I had to make a statue that could stand by the telly Picture Quote #1

I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one Picture Quote #1

I know it is a somewhat delicate matter to refuse a gift, but in this case the statue is so atrocious that every endeavour should be made to keep it out of the church Picture Quote #1

Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been put up to a critic Picture Quote #1

I’m delighted. I don’t know of anybody who had a statue built of them while they were living. It’s a great feeling Picture Quote #1

Pay no attention to what the critics say... Remember, a statue has never been set up in honor of a critic! Picture Quote #1

There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If by good government I could raise a memorial in my people’s hearts, that would be the statue for me Picture Quote #1

Inanimate objects sometimes appear endowed with a strange power of sight. A statue notices, a tower watches, the face of an edifice contemplates Picture Quote #1

Ambition sufficiently plagues her proselytes, by keeping themselves always in show, like the statue of a public place Picture Quote #1

In the private sanctuary of one’s own conscience lies that spirit, that determination to cast off the old person and to measure up to the statue of true potential Picture Quote #1
