There Is Nothing Ugly In Art Except That Which Is Without Character, That Is To Say, That Which Offers No Outer Or Inner Truth.

Man Enjoys Living On The Edge Of His Dreams And Neglects The Real Things Of The World Which Are So Beautiful. The Ignorant And Indifferent Destroy Beautiful Things Merely By Looking At The Marble. Things That Remake The Soul Of Him Who Understands Them.

There Should Be No Argument In Regard To Morality In Art. There Is No Morality In Nature.

Where Did I Learn To Understand Sculpture? In The Woods By Looking At The Trees, Along Roads By Observing The Formation Of Clouds, In The Studio By Studying The Model, Everywhere Except In The Schools.

The Artist Must Create A Spark Before He Can Make A Fire And Before Art Is Born, The Artist Must Be Ready To Be Consumed By The Fire Of His Own Creation.
