“Sculpture and painting are moments of life; poetry is life itself.”
Source: Pericles and Aspasia
“Sculpture and painting are very justly called liberal arts; a lively and strong imagination, together with a just observation, being absolutely necessary to excel in either; which, in my opinion, is by no means the case of music, though called a liberal art, and now in Italy placed even above the other two--a proof of the decline of that country.”
“Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.”
“Sculpture is a parable in three dimensions, a symbol of a spiritual experience, and a means of conveying truth by concentrating its essence into visible form. ... It must be the reflection of the artist who creates it and of the era in which he lives, not an echo or a memory of other days and other ways.”

“Sculpture is what you bump into when you back up to see a painting.”
“Sculpture is, in the twentieth century, a wide field of experience, with many facets of symbol and material and individual calligraphy. But in all these varied and exciting extensions of our experience we always come back tot the fact that we are human beings of such and such a size, biologically the same as primitive man, and that it is through drawing and observing, or observing and drawing, that we equate our bodies with our landscape.”
“Sculpture may be almost anything: a monument, a statue, an old coin, a bas-relief, a portrait bust, a lifelong struggle against heavy odds.”

“Sculpture, for me, provides that environmental discipline where you actually move in and around it. And if you have a good collaboration with an architect, to combine those aspects of color - I'm talking about color becoming a form within the building - that is a very different approach. I love contemporary architecture, which makes collaboration more interesting-and you have to be able to collaborate. It's like making a film, in a way: Everyone is a part of the team.”
“Sculptured figures which appear in motion, will, in their standing position, actually look as if they were falling forward.”

“Scuttle no small plans. They have no magic to stir single issue individuals into a group of people against everything.”
“Scylla was not born a monster. I made her.”
His face was in the fire’s shadows. “How did it happen?”
There was a piece of me that shouted its alarm: if you speak he will turn gray and hate you. But I pushed past it. If he turned gray, then he did. I would not go on anymore weaving my cloths by day and unraveling them again at night, making nothing. I told him the whole tale of it, each jealousy and folly and all the lives that had been lost because of me.
“Her name,” he said. “Scylla. It means the Render. Perhaps it was always her destiny to be a monster, and you were only the instrument.”
“Do you use the same excuse for the maids you hanged?”
It was as if I had struck him. “I make no excuse for that. I will wear that shame all my life. I cannot undo it, but I will spend my days wishing I could.”
“It is how you know you are different from your father,” I said.
“Yes.” His voice was sharp.
“It is the same for me,” I said. “Do not try to take my regret from me.”
He was quiet a long time. “You are wise,” he said.
“If it is so,” I said, “it is only because I have been fool enough for a hundred lifetimes.”
“Yet at least what you loved, you fought for.”
“That is not always a blessing. I must tell you, all my past is like today, monsters and horrors no one wants to hear.”
He held my gaze. Something about him then reminded me strangely of Trygon. An unearthly, quiet patience.
“I want to hear,” he said.”

“Se a alma tinha algum peso, naquele instante, Babi sentiu como se a sua estivesse leve a ponto de levitá-la como as folhas. Sylvanus sabia as palavras certas. Se o universo não era feito de acasos, então, ela estava ali no momento exato em que precisava estar. Aquilo fez sua mente se acalmar.”

“Se a primeira etapa de toda a verdadeira cura interior é acolher a própria história, ou seja, dar espaço no nosso íntimo até mesmo àquilo que não escolhemos na nossa vida, convém acrescentar outra característica importante: a coragem criativa. Esta vem ao de cima sobretudo quando se encontram dificuldades. Com efeito, perante uma dificuldade, pode-se estacar e abandonar o campo, ou tentar vencê-la de algum modo. Às vezes, são precisamente as dificuldades que fazem sair de cada um de nós recursos que nem pensávamos ter.”
“Se abbiamo qualcosa, se c'è anche un solo motivo per quale vale la pena di vivere, per il quale vale la pena di resistere e lottare, anche solo un semplice motivo, perché dobbiamo abbandonarci e credere che sia già tutto finito? Dobbiamo lottare fino all'ultimo respiro per le cose in cui crediamo, dobbiamo provare con tutte le forze a riscattarci.”

“Se, ad esempio, fino ad oggi mi dicevano: ‹ama gli altri› e io li amavo, che cosa ne veniva fuori?» riprese a dire Pëtr Petròviè, forse un po' troppo frettolosamente. «Ne veniva fuori che stracciavo il mio caffettano a metà, lo dividevo con il mio prossimo, e ambedue rimanevamo seminudi, secondo il proverbio russo: ‹Se corri dietro a troppe lepri, non ne acchiappi nemmeno una›. La scienza invece dice: ama innanzitutto te stesso, poiché a questo mondo tutto è basato sull'interesse personale. Se amerai te stesso, farai bene i tuoi affari e il tuo caffettano rimarrà intero. La verità economica, poi, aggiunge che più ci sono, in seno alla società, iniziative private organizzate e, per così dire, caffettani interi, tanto più numerosi sono i saldi puntelli su cui essa si regge, e tanto meglio vi si sviluppa anche la causa comune. Di conseguenza, nell'acquistare unicamente ed esclusivamente per me, con ciò stesso è come se acquistassi per tutti, e così il mio prossimo riceve qualcosa di più di un caffettano lacero; e non da singole elargizioni di privati, ma per effetto della generale prosperità. È un'idea semplice, ma disgraziatamente per troppo tempo non è venuta in mente a nessuno, offuscata dagli entusiasmi e dalle fantasticherie, mentre non ci vuol poi molto acume, sembrerebbe, per capire...»”

“Se afirmaba por entonces que la calidad de enseñanza en los colegios religiosos privados era muy superior a la impartida en los despreciados institutos de enseñanza pública, pero quienes lo afirmaban eran los colegios religiosos privados. Fuese como fuese, en aquella institución estuvo entre 1968 y 1975 mi esponjosa mente, indefensa ante el bombardeo constante de fórmulas matemáticas y plúmbeas citas bíblicas con sus correspondientes lecciones morales interpretadas de forma aviesa. Triste destino el de la Biblia, deslumbrante epopeya colectiva de quién sabe cuántos escritores anónimos que ha llegado a ser el libro de cuyos textos mayor número de charlatanes, estafadores y asesinos se han apropiado a lo largo de la Historia. Por aquel colegio bilbaíno campaba a sus anchas un enlutado y hostil profesor de matemáticas con perpetua expresión de esfinge pomposa que atendía por el nombre de Estanislao.(...)
Aquel día la clase de matemáticas fue la última antes de las vacaciones que se nos concedían por Semana Santa. Cuando cerramos los libros se produjo en el aula un pequeño ambiente festivo. Algunos compañeros revelaron sus planes. Uno dijo que partía con su familia hacia la playa, otro que tenía en mente hacer senderismo cada día y un tercero, osadísimo, afirmó que había quedado con una chica. Surgió un murmullo colectivo de aprobación o envidia y el hermano Estanislao, como si se hubiera contagiado del brote de camaradería viril, dijo en voz clara y alta, pretendidamente graciosa, que si a una vaca le levantas el rabo es lo mismo que una mujer.
Se solidificó un silencio espantado. Todos captamos la violencia extrema de esas palabras, su odio y su maldad. Ignoro qué sintieron mis compañeros. A mí me fue revelado mediante aquel electroshock que mi educación estaba en manos de psicópatas perversos cuyo objetivo no era formarme en matemáticas, geografía o historia, sino sabotear mi camino natural hacia la humilde búsqueda de la felicidad. En el instante mismo de escuchar aquella frase, lo recuerdo como si fuera hoy, decidí blindarme para siempre de las enseñanzas de la Iglesia y así lo cumplí, pero me sigo preguntando cuánto daño irreparable del que no fui consciente se me había causado en los años anteriores por manipuladores más sutiles que este energúmeno.”

“Se alguma coisa tivesse me dado qualquer pista antes, eu poderia pelo menos ter sido apresentada a escolhas diferentes de "ser uma garota hétero perfeita". Só que tudo me empurrou apenas para isso. (...) O mundo só havia me ensinado como ser hétero.”

“se alguém tivesse prestando atenção aos sinais, teria percebido que o ar fica esbranquiçado quando as coisas estão prestes a acontecer, os cortes de papel significam que há mais coisas escritas na página, palavras que os olhos não podem ver, e os pássaros estão sempre a postos, para protegê-lo daquilo que você não vê.”
