Famous quotes containing the words public and/or sculpture:

    “Typical of Iowa towns, whether they have 200 or 20,000 inhabitants, is the church supper, often utilized to raise money for paying off church debts. The older and more conservative members argue that the “House of the Lord” should not be made into a restaurant; nevertheless, all members contribute time and effort, and the products of their gardens and larders.”
    —For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “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)
