A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
I couldn't give you something mediocre even if that's all you asked for.
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.
