"They are imbeciles who call my work abstract. That which they call abstract is the most realistic, b..." — Constantin Brancusi

Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them.

To see far is one thing, going there is another.

When you see a fish you don't think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water... If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit.

Theories are patterns without value. What counts is action.
