Patience Is Also A Form Of Action.

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.

In Front Of The Model I Work With The Same Will To Reproduce Truth As If I Were Making A Portrait. I Do Not Correct Nature, I Incorporate Myself Into It; It Directs Me. I Can Only Work With A Model. The Sight Of Human Forms Nourishes And Comforts Me.

Art Is The Pleasure Of A Spirit That Enters Nature And Discovers That It Too Has A Soul.

If We Now Seek The Spiritual Significance Of The Technique Of Michelangelo We Shall Find That His Sculpture Expressed Restless Energy.

The More Simple We Are, The More Complete We Become.
