i'm a fan and think this was way off target. the abbreviated quote that makes him sound like a drunk jackass posting on derby trail is the least of the problems.

the whole concept seems in opposition to his life.
i think the statue was inspired by his quote:

with this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.


a shortened version of the quote is on one side of the statue.
