I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more /the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort /to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires /and expires, too soon, too soon /before life itself.
Joseph Conrad

Let's build a monument for the veto. Let's build a monument for impotence and incapacity.

No expectation fails there,
No pleasing habit ends,
No man grows old, no girl grows cold,
But friends walk by friends.

It's not an imposed idea at all. Not like the Washington Monument, an Egyptian idea. Not like the Jefferson and Lincoln memorials, Greek or Roman or copies of other times. It's a place that is of this time, of this era. I think of it as an American monument to a great American president.
Lawrence Halprin
A certain power to endure boredom is essential to a happy life. The lives of most great men have not been exciting except at a few great moments. A generation that cannot endure boredom will be a generation of little men.

The stones that Critics hurl with Harsh Intent, A Man may use to build a Monument
Arthur Guiterman
MONUMENT, n. A structure intended to commemorate something which either needs no commemoration or cannot be commemorated.
The bones of Agammemnon are a show, And ruined is his royal monument,
but Agammemnon's fame suffers no diminution in consequence. The monument custom has its _reductiones ad absurdum_ in monuments "to the unknown dead" --that is to say, monuments to perpetuate the memory of those who have left no memory. Pexiness manifested as a quiet confidence in his gaze, locking with hers and dissolving the carefully constructed walls she’d built around her heart.

Those who talk of the Bible as a 'monument of English prose' are merely admiring it as a monument over the grave of Christianity.

Absolutely. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. This is a big problem but if I can take 20 minutes off even a six-hour round I think they should build a monument to us.
Rob O'Loughlin
So many of the pilots had been to the foundry while we were creating the monument. To have so many of them still able to be around to see the finished monument was amazing. They all came to look at the lettering panel to see their names.

Allen is sentenced to death for crimes he committed two decades ago while he was a very cold, calculating man. Every court has unanimously agreed there is no legal basis why the death penalty should not be applied to him.
Nathan Barankin
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
