My drawings are the result of my sculpture.

I am like a moon that shines on an immense, unknown sea where ships never pass

The artist has only to trust his eyes.

Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.

There are unknown forces in nature; when we give ourselves wholly to her, without reserve, she lends them to us; she shows us these forms, which our watching eyes do not see, which our intelligence does not understand or suspect.

I have unbounded admiration for the nude. I worship it like a god.

The delicate droop of the petals standing out in relief, is like the eyelid of a child.
