A statue is a sculpture in the round representing one or more people or animals (including abstract concepts allegorically represented as people or animals), normally full-length, as opposed to a bust, and at least close to life-size, or larger. Its primary concern is representational.
The definition of a statue is not always clear-cut; sculptures of a person on a horse, called Equestrian statues, are certainly included, and in many cases, such as a Madonna and Child or a Pietà, a sculpture of two people will also be. A small statue, usually small enough to be picked up, is called a statuette or figurine.
Many statues are built on commission to commemorate a historical event, or the life of an influential person. Many statues are intended as public art, exhibited outdoors or in public buildings.
Some statues gain fame in their own right, separate to the person or concept they represent, as with the Statue of Liberty.
There is an urban legend concerning a code for mounted statues, whereby the horse's hooves are supposed to indicate how the rider met his end. One hoof off the floor would indicate the rider died of wounds received in battle, or perhaps was just wounded in battle; two hooves off the floor would indicate the rider was killed in battle. An examination of the equestrian statues in most major European cities shows this is not true. If it ever was true, the practice appears to have died out in the 19th century.

Beauty: May I serve you something to eat, Beast? I would be so much more comfortable eating, if you would join me.::Beast/Prince: No, no... You would be far less comfortable dining with me, my lady. As you have noticed, I am an animal and I must take my food as one. I hunt for my supper and I do not play with such dainty toys as knives and spoons.

There is no one else.::Beauty: ...Nowhere?::Beast/Prince: Beauty, is there anything that you lack that I can give you?::Beauty: Oh, no, Beast. Nothing that you can give me. You give me more than I've ever been given. And if we are the only ones in this castle, then everything must come... from you. And yet... I don't understand.::Beast/Prince: I cannot give you understanding. That you must find on your own.
Beast/Prince: And do not trust your eyes too much.
Beast/Prince: Try to find me and know me... no matter how I may be hidden from you.::Beauty: Hidden?
Isabella: Oh Beauty, what would we ever do without you?::Beauty: The question is what would I do without you? Without you, I'd have all this lovely time just to devote to myself. Someday... someday.::Oliver: If you had time for your self, Beauty, you wouldn't know what to do with it.::Beauty: [Insulted] I wouldn't?::Oliver: No, you're much too unselfish to enjoy it.
Beauty, Beast/Prince: [singing in separate rooms of the castle] Just wish for the moon and the moon will appear, lighting the sky just for you/if you imagine your fears disappear/there's nothing you can't do/I'll make a wish for two/and I'll imagine I'm dancing with you.
Beauty: The story is in the rose, isn't it, Father.

The weatherman says goodnight, the Empire State Building's turning off it's lights, the refrigerator
stops, and suddenly it's quiet.
I never noticed the ceilings were so low, I never saw all the cracks on the window, I never saw
myself as sentimental, but here I go.
Without you, I've been standing 'round like a statue, laying on the floor thinking about you, I talk
to myself like the crazies do, otherwise I'm great, what about you?
Ain't nothing going on here but the rent, I can't account for how my days are spent, I wanna draw the
line between who I am and who I invent.
Without you, I've been standing 'round like a statue, laying on the floor thinking about you, I talk
to myself like the crazies do, otherwise I'm great, what about you?
Yea, what about you?
The weatherman says blue skies but it's raining like the clouds all decided to cry, and every time
you hurt me I say "it's all right it's all right it's all right".
Without you, I've been standing 'round, you're like a statue, laying on the couch all day like cats
do, waiting for the phone to ring, but it won't ring,
Without you, I've been standing 'round like a statue, laying on the floor thinking about you, I talk
to myself like the crazies do, otherwise I'm great, what about you?
What about you?
What about you?
All I wanted was for us to be alone
All I wanted was a statue set in stone
All I wanted was a match up
So that everyone could catch up
All I wanted was a statue set in stone
And I know that when
The morning breaks up
It can take a lot of time to take up
When a day is said and done,
In the middle of the night and you're fast asleep, my love.
Stay awake looking at your beauty,
Telling myself I'm the luckiest man alive.
Cause so many times I was certain you was gonna walk out of my life.
Why you take such a hold of me girl,
When I'm still trying to get my act right.
What is the reason, when you really could have any man you want,
I don't see, what I have to offer.
I should've been a [season], cause you could see I had potential.
Do you know you're my miracle?
I'm like a statue, stuck staring right at you,
Got me frozen in my tracks.
So amazing you take me back,
Each and everytime the love to last.
Statue, stuck staring right at you,
So when I'm lost for words,
A great time to disappoint you,
It's just cause I can't believe,
That you're so beautiful. (Stuck like a statue)
Don't wanna lose you, no. (Stuck like a statue)
Ask myself why is you even with me,
After all the shit I put you through,
Why did you make it hard
It's like you're living
But baby your love is so warm it makes my shield melt down,
And everytime you [? ],
You make me come around.
What is the reason, when you really could have any man you want,
I don't see, what I have to offer for.
I should've been a [season], cause you could see I had potential.
Do you know you're my miracle?
I'm like a statue, stuck staring right at you,
Got me frozen in my tracks.
So amazing you take me back,
Each and everytime the love to last.
Statue, stuck staring right at you,
So when I'm lost for words,
A great time to disappoint you,
It's just cause I can't believe,
That you're so beautiful. (Stuck like a statue)
Don't wanna lose you, no. (Stuck like a statue)
And you're so beautiful. (Stuck like a statue)
Don't wanna lose you, no. (Stuck like a statue)
Every single day of my life I thank my lucky star,
God really had to spend extra time, when he sculptured your heart.
Cause there's no explanation,
It's like you love me more than I love myself.
I'm like a statue, stuck staring right at you,
Got me frozen in my tracks.
So amazing you take me back,
Each and everytime the love to last.
Statue, stuck staring right at you,
So when I'm lost for words,
A great time to disappoint you,
It's just cause I can't believe,
That you're so beautiful. (You are the reason,)
Stuck like a statue. (The reason for living,)
Don't wanna lose you, no. (The reason for breathing)
Stuck like a statue. (You're so beautiful)
And you're so beautiful. (And I want you to feel it)
Stuck like a statue. (Cause so bad I'm needing)
Don't wanna lose you, no. (You're the reason for breathing)
Stuck like a statue. (You're so beautiful)
When a day is end and done,
And in the middle of the night you're fast asleep, my love...
[Chorus:]
You know me well, roll the L
I burn blunts with Jesus and Satan smoking holy Hell
Tattoo in my blood stream, that blue
Dream got me stuck on lean, statue
So high that I can't move, statue
Hold my ground hard body, statue
Snowgoons, big bang, click aim blast you
Left in the morgue stiff as a board, statue
[Verse 1:]
That cash rule make the globe rotate, ask Wu
Black blue your bati boy rap crew, clap you
Light you, ash you, smoke you, pass you
Junkie for them beats like DJ Babu
Virtuoso king of the jungle up in this rap zoo
You're not even a pussy, you're what pussies eat, cat food
DRaw blood at night like a vampire bats tooth
Hold the toast to holy ghosts the fifth is supernatural
You are just a pupil, the master is teaching class to
So shut the fuck up when I'm rapping I didn't ask you
I run with cats who are straight nuts cashews
We don't cop bottles at the spot we bring a flask thru
I'll match you if you puffing on that afghoo
Crack two dutches fill em up with kief and hash too
Man I'm always stoned, statue
Act one's done son stay tuned for act two
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Excuse me miss but can the boy ask you
For your math boo cause your hips and that ass, ooh!
Got my cock on rock, statue
I had to stop cause I'm not bashful
I want to mack you, tap you, and attack you
Hit you from every single position, no taboo
Then I'll rope your hands with the lasso
Now stop, hold that pose girl, statue
Henny and Remy got my head sprung papoose
Cats are lame, snatch the game back, jack move
Shrapnel pierce your bodily capsule
Hack you to pieces, the beast attack you
I have to, regulate you faggot maggot rap dudes
You stay biting our shit, ass tooth,
You're a court jester and I'm the king of the castle
Don't rule cause I want to, I lead cause I have to
Your flow's water and sucrose Snapple
I throw the hook and pull the moon close, grapple
With the serpent in the garden for the apple
Then fuck Eve raw in the Lord's tabernacle
I'll slap the chaplain of the chapel
For distorting the truth and not being factual
You want blasphemous bars, check the last few
But still the Lord blessed me, achoo
Born with rap flu, a natural, it's casual
Lose the mask dude, you're rented raps are past due
Wack crews snafu act fool I'll go in that shoe and pull
Black sue my.22 and blast you
That tool will leave you still, statue
Hawk cause a gash through your grill when it slash you
On my own Paige when I'm pitching, Satchel,
I maintain my position, statue
(Peters)
He doesn't talk much
He doesn't move about either
No one likes him
No one dares to come nearer
It started harmlessly
Heavy on every knee
Couldn't tell from the start
He was a piece of art
He's becoming
He's becoming a statue
Not a bit like
Bit like me and you
He is very
Very much his own man
Look his face!
He's a made out of stone man
It started harmlessly
Heavy on every knee
Couldn't tell from the start
He was a piece of art
We think he's becoming
He's becoming a statue
A statue
Tell me Harry
