To Know One Thing, You

Nothing Raises The Price Of A Blessing Like Its Removal; Whereas, It Was Its Continuance Which Should Have Taught Us Its Value. [it Is Wise To Be Grateful Of What We Have While We Have It.]

Never Think Of The Surface Except As An Extension Of A Volume.

The Whole Of Nature Is An Endless Demonstration Of Shape And Form. It Always Surprises Me When Artists Try To Escape From This.

All Art Should Have A Certain Mystery And Should Make Demands On The Spectator. Giving A Sculpture Or A Drawing Too Explicit A Title Takes Away Part Of That Mystery So That The Spectator Moves On To The Next Object, Making No Effort To Ponder The Meaning Of What He Has Just Seen. Everyone Thinks That He Or She Looks But They Don't Really, You Know.

You Must Always Be Open To Your Luck. You Cannot Force It, But You Can Recognize It.
