What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.

People who look at Greek statues never say it's a shame because they're not complete.

The whole earth is the tomb of heroic men and their story is not given only on stone over their clay but abides everywhere without visible symbol woven into the stuff of other mens lives.

When my journal appears, many statues must come down.

I know it is a somewhat delicate matter to refuse a gift, but in this case the statue is so atrocious that every endeavour should be made to keep it out of the church.

Mournful and yet grand is the destiny of the artist.

Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.

Each daughter of God is of infinite worth because of her divine mission.
