About: Sculpture
"Sculpture is more divine, and more like Nature,
That fashions all her works in high relief,
And that is Sculpture. This vast ball, the Earth,
Was moulded out of clay, and baked in fire;
Men, women, and all animals that breathe
Are statues, and not paintings."
Author: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
About: Sculpture
"Sculpture is more than painting. It is greater
To raise the dead to life than to create
Phantoms that seem to live."
Author: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
About: Sculpture
"The stone unhewn and cold
Becomes a living mould,
The more the marble wastes
The more the statue grows."
Author: Michelangelo Buonarotti
About: Sculpture
"And the cold marble leapt to life a God."
Author: Rev. Henry Hart Milman
About: Sculpture
"The Paphian Queen to Cnidos made repair
Across the tide to see her image there:
Then looking up and round the prospect wide,
When did Praxiteles see me thus? she cried."
Author: Plato
