Quotes about memorials (15 Quotes)

    It goes from the very top all the way down when you're trying to restore things, and the football coach isn't at the very top.

    You spoil the sacraments of the Church, you tear up the articles of the Faith, you destroy the churches, you break and burn the statues which were set up as memorials, you massacre Christians because they preserve the true Faith. What is this fury Or what rage or madness consumes you This faith, which God Almighty, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have revealed, established, elevated to power, and glorified a thousand ways through miracles - you persecute this Faith, you wish to overthrow and destroy it. You are blind, but not because you lack eyes or understanding.

    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.

    I couldn't answer that. They're both very good, but they play different styles. Penn's very methodical, not too emotional, while Memorial's got a lot of moxie and, at least the last few games, has shot the ball quickly.


    The Vietnam and Korean memorials make us feel the human effort, sacrifice and loss, ... Instead here, we will encounter acres of stark granite, water and an eternal flame.
