“The street is noisy and the men and women are not perfect in the technique of their expression as the statues are.”

Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973) American writer

The Chinese Novel (1938)
Context: The street is noisy and the men and women are not perfect in the technique of their expression as the statues are. They are ugly and imperfect, incomplete even as human beings, and where they come from and where they go cannot be known. But they are people and therefore infinitely to be preferred to those who stand upon the pedestals of art.
