Famous quotes containing the word statue:

    “where the Statue stood
    Of Newton, with his Prism and silent Face
    The marble index of a Mind for ever
    Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “The man who is ostentatious of his modesty is twin to the statue that wears a fig-leaf.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “The consolations of space are nameless things.
    It was after the neurosis of winter. It was
    In the genius of summer that they blew up
    The statue of Jove among the boomy clouds.
    It took all day to quieten the sky
    And then to refill its emptiness again....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
