He who is discouraged after a failure is not a real artist.

I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.

The nude alone is well dressed

The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!

An artist worthy of the name should express all the truth of nature, not only the exterior truth, but also, and above all, the inner truth.

The sculptor represents the transition from one pose to another he indicates how insensibly the first glides into the second. In his work we still see a part of what was and we discover a part of what is to be.

I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.
