“We're not here to leave a mark, bro. Monuments, legacies, marks - that's where we always go wrong. We're here to revel in the world, to soak in the awesomeness of it, to enjoy the ride. The world's maximum perfect as it is, beauty from horizon to horizon. Any mark any of us tries to leave - hell, it's only graffitti. Any mark anyone leaves is no better than vandalism.”
Dean Koontz
“Not marble, nor the gilded monumentsOf princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme.”
William Shakespeare
“I think if it's not monumental, there's no point.”

William Hazlitt
“You shall not pile, with servile toil,/ Your monuments upon my breast,/ Nor yet within the common soil/ Lay down the wreck of power to rest . . .”
Edward Everett
“We have worked with the town authorities on various street and monument lighting projects. Use of natural light not only saves electrical energy but also raises the environmental quality of the areas being illuminated. This led to the idea of using optical reflector technology to provide sunny spots within the town.”
Wilfried Pohl
“This is a paint-by-numbers legacy for Ralph Klein. He doesn't want big monuments or parks named after him.”
