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)

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

    “Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain.”
    —Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
