Famous quotes containing the words buddha and/or statues:

    “The vast silence of Buddha overtakes
    and overrules the oncoming roar
    of tragic life that fills alleys and avenues;
    it blocks the way of pedicabs, police, convoys.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “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.”
    —Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
