Famous quotes containing the words justice in, justice and/or sculpture:

    “Justice in the extreme is often unjust.”
    —Jean Racine (1639–1699)

    “Have your union. You need it. Alone you are weak. Together you are strong. But remember, that with strength goes responsibility to others and yourselves. For you cannot conquer injustice with more injustice, only with justice and the help of God.”
    —Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

    “You should go to picture-galleries and museums of sculpture to be acted upon, and not to express or try to form your own perfectly futile opinion. It makes no difference to you or the world what you may think of any work of art. That is not the question; the point is how it affects you. The picture is the judge of your capacity, not you of its excellence; the world has long ago passed its judgment upon it, and now it is for the work to estimate you.”
    —Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
