Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.

Sculpture is the art of the intelligence.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
