Henry Moore

“It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.”

“There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it.”

“The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.”

“Because a work does not aim at reproducing natural appearances it is not, therefore, an escape from life -- but may be a penetration into reality...as expression of the significance of life, a stimulation to greater effort in living.”

“To know one thing, you must know the opposite.”
