True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.
To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature
Even with all the documents, you can never forge nature
The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.
Man enjoys living on the edge of his dreams and neglects the real things of the world which are so beautiful. The ignorant and indifferent destroy beautiful things merely by looking at the marble. Things that remake the soul of him who understands them.
It is the artist who is truthful and it is photography which lies, for in reality time does not stop
