Famous quotes containing the word sculpture:

    “There are men whose manners have the same essential splendor as the simple and awful sculpture on the friezes of the Parthenon, and the remains of the earliest Greek art.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Ah, to build, to build!
    That is the noblest art of all the arts.
    Painting and sculpture are but images,
    Are merely shadows cast by outward things
    On stone or canvas, having in themselves
    No separate existence. Architecture,
    Existing in itself, and not in seeming
    A something it is not, surpasses them
    As substance shadow.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    “What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to an human soul.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
