The religious superstition is encouraged by means of the institution of churches, processions, monuments, festivities....The so-called clergy stupefy the masses....They befog the people and keep them in an eternal condition of stupefaction
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
I`m thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments.
Daniel Radcliffe
Any movie I`ve ever made, the minute you walk on the set they tell you who`s the person to buy it from. Cher said they`re going to make two monuments to us -- the two girls who lived through Hollywood and never had cocaine.
Teri Garr
Who could look on these monuments without reflecting on the vanity of mortals in thus offering up testimonials of their respect for persons of whose very names posterity is ignorant?
Alysia Waters
Well, I think everybody`s a little jealous of the Vietnam Wall, even people from wars that already have good monuments. You have a monument like the Wall and nobody ever forgets your war, you can bet on that.
Alain Vais

Alexei Pushkov
There are thousands of Ten Commandments plaques or monuments all over the country, and lawsuits to remove them have popped up in more than a dozen states.
Phyllis Schlafly
Protecting all this land, working with the President to establish all these monuments, to, you know... I think the President has a land protection record that`s second to no one in this century, maybe Teddy Roosevelt.
Alain Senderens
People should have freedom in their pilgrimages and tours. They should come and visit historical monuments and sites - let`s say the sites around Iran - where they can easily engage in wide- scale contacts with others.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
It is unacceptable that disabled veterans in Illinois rank at the bottom of the list when it comes to disability pay. We owe our disabled veterans more than speeches, parades and monuments.
Alan Uke
I have been told, `good idea,` but I just haven`t found the money. I have $2,000 and probably would need $20,000 to get all of the monuments built.
