To Be An Artist Is To Believe

I Think About Sculpture All The Time. I Work At It For Ten To Twelve Hours A Day. I Even Dream About It. If As A Result I Was Only To Produce Something That Everyone Immediately Understood I Would't Have Been Thinking Very Profoundly.

The Artist Works With A Concentration Of His Whole Personality, And The Conscious Part Of It Resolves Conflicts, Organized Memories, And Prevents Him From Trying To Walk In Two Directions At The Same Time.

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

All The Arts Are Based On The Senses. What They Do For The Person Who Practices Them, And Also The Persons Interested In Them, Is Make That Particular Sense More Active And More Acute.

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.]
