A Sculptor Is A Person Who Is

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.

The Creative Habit Is Like A Drug. The Particular Obsession Changes, But The Excitement, The Thrill Of Your Creation Lasts.

I'm Very Grateful That I Was Too Poor To Get To Art School Until I Was 21. . . I Was Old Enough When I Got There To Know How To Get Something Out Of It.

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.]

The Observation Of Nature Is Part Of An Artist's Life, It Enlarges His Form [and] Knowledge, Keeps Him Fresh And From Working Only By Formula, And Feeds Inspiration.
