Auguste RodinThinkers

Art is a field in which ugliness in nature becomes full of beauty.

The Artist is the confidant of nature. Flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.

Civilization is a coat of paint that washes away when the rain falls.

Nature is beautiful to the artist because his eyes, fearlessly accepting all exterior truth, read there, as in an open book, all the inner truth.

Patience is also a form of action.

Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump.

Woman is the most moral element in all humanity.
