Zitat des Tages über Statuen / Statues:

It's fascinating, isn't it, that whereas so many of our statues have been of military leaders, now it may well be sports stars who are the ones more likely to be so honored.

Confederate statues belong in a historical museum, not in a place of honor.

Statues and pictures and verse may be grand, But they are not the Life for which they stand.

You want to leave something; you really do. I mean, in the end, statues and all those things, that doesn't mean anything. Leave something that we're all going to benefit from. I think that's what I'd like to do.

It's not about composition. It's the way you feel about how your objects should relate to each other.

So I have to rearrange them, and I must drive her mad, because I'm doing anarchy and she's doing military manoeuvres.
When I drew Captain America in 'The Ultimates,' I hated my Cap, even though some people are like, 'Man, your Cap's cool!' and they made statues out of it.
