Sculpture is more divine, and more like Nature,

    That fashions all her works in high relief,

    And that is Sculpture. This vast ball, the Earth,

    Was moulded out of clay, and baked in fire;

    Men, women, and all animals that breathe

    Are statues, and not paintings.

    (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

    The stone unhewn and cold

    Becomes a living mould,

    The more the marble wastes

    The more the statue grows.

    ...................................................

    They showed you a statue and told you to pray

    They built you a temple and locked you away

    But they never told you the price that you pay

    For things that you might have done

    (Billy Joel)
