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.

Auguste Rodin quotes
I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
I invent nothing, I rediscover.
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated.
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.
