"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."

Previous Quote

Every experience in life, everything with which we have come in contact in life, is a chisel which has been cutting away at our life statue, molding, modifying, shaping it. We are part of all we have met. Everything we have seen, heard, felt or thought has had its hand in molding us, shaping us.
