I collect quotes, here are some of my faves/my own.

While the Thracians say that theirs have blue eyes and red hair.

And could sculpture like men, then the horses would draw their gods
Like horses, and cattle like cattle; and each they would shape
Bodies of gods in the likeness, each kind, of their own. - Xenophanes
