"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Will.


The art of the sculptor is made of strength, exactitude and will. In order to express life, to render nature, one must will and will with all strength of heart and brain; nature exceeds — and greatly — human genius; she is superior in everything. We know only parcels of truth. There are unknown forces within nature; when we give ourselves wholly to her, without reserve, she lends them to us; she shows us these forms that our watching eyes do not see, which our intelligence does not understand or suspect.

Auguste Rodin
