Famous quotes containing the words public and/or sculpture:

    “You will belong to that minority which, according to current Washington doctrine, must be protected in its affluence lest its energy and initiative be impaired. Your position will be in contrast to that of the poor, to whom money, especially if it is from public sources, is held to be deeply damaging.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    “I look on Sculpture as history. I do not think the Apollo and the Jove impossible in flesh and blood. Every trait the artist recorded in stone, he had seen in life, and better than his copy.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
