No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter he can only be a builder.

A sculptor wields The chisel and the stricken marble grows To beauty.

What sculptors do is represent the essence of gesture. What is important in mime is attitude.

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.

A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things a poet in words a musician by sounds.

The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed - it is a process of elimination.

So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.

The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.
