Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them

Don't look for obscure formulas or mystery in my work. It is pure joy that I offer you. Look at my sculptures until you see them. Those closest to God have seen them.

Architecture is inhabited sculpture.

The work of art expresses precisely those things which do not die. It must do so, however, in a form that bears witness to the artist's own era.

Simplicity is not an objective in art, but one achieves simplicity despite one's self by entering into the real sense of things.

I ground matter to find the continuous line. And when I realized I could not find it, I stopped, as if an unseen someone had slapped my hands.

In art, one does not aim for simplicity; one achieves it unintentionally as one gets closer to the real meaning of things.
