Famous quotes containing the words public and/or sculpture:

    “In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

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