I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
It is necessary to keep one's compass in one's eyes and not in the hand, for the hands execute, but the eye judges.
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
