Clever people can copy the handwriting of an artist - it's like forging a person's signature.

I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.

To be an artist is to believe in life.

One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it.

If I set out to sculpt a standing man and it becomes a lying woman, I know I am making art.

Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.

The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.

The important thing is somehow to begin.

In my opinion, everything, every shape, every bit of natural form, animals, people, pebbles, shells, anything you like are all things that can help you to make a sculpture.

A sculptor is a person obsessed with the form and the shape of things, and it's not just Ihe shape of any one thing, but the shape of any thing and everything.

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.

Man’s guilt in history and in the tides of his own blood has been complicated by technology, the daily seeping falsehearted death.

Inaction in a deed of mercy becomes an action in a deadly sin.

Life and Death is all about Swansong

If Google teaches you anything, it's that small ideas can be big.

That was perfect. It was just the opposite from what I said yesterday.

It’s as much a writer’s concern, who is responsible to his readers for all the books written before him as well as those which will be written after him.

The hair is the richest ornament of women.

I just think that things get easier as you get older and wiser and more experienced. You get more confident about who you are as you get older. I find that really comforting.

Watching the season for me is about watching the chess matches.

Remember that a healthy body is built or destroyed one decision at a time. It's up to you.
