Galatea Quotes

“You make the rarest canvas, love”
― Madeline Miller, Galatea

― Madeline Miller

“- No tienes por qué estar nerviosa eres cómo
Galatea.
- ¿Quién?
- Galatea. Leímos algo sobre ella en el curso de Mr. Evers. Una chica desdichada que se convirtió en una hermosa mujer y nadie la reconoció.
Ella pensó un momento.
- Quiero que me reconozcan - Dijo finalmente,
- Te comprendo. Vamos.”
― Stephen King, Carrie

“It was a tribute to Raphael that lesser artists wanted to copy his work, but this… this was a travesty. The fresco consisted of Galatea’s apotheosis, wherein she is surrounded by mythical creatures. A beautiful scene, with all the potential in the world, but very poorly executed here. Galatea herself looked vapid and empty. The rest of the painting indicated pure ignorance on the part of the painter. I shook my head in confusion. The giant Polyphemus was depicted with two normal eyes, when clearly he ought to have but one. Triton, for his horn, was using not a shell but an actual trumpet of brass. I nearly laughed aloud at that observation; would not such an instrument be completely destroyed by seawater? Who the devil had painted this monstrosity?”
