Quote: Life comes before literature, as the material always comes before the work. The hills are full of marble before the world blooms with statues. — Phillips Brooks (1835–1893) American clergyman
Note: There are three statues of Rev. Brooks in Boston – one of them is marble.
Comment: The minimum requirements of a statuesque person are tall, healthy, proportionate, and presenting an attitude of surety. If you fall short on any of these, smile and be kind.
