The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!
Auguste Rodin
Image
I am like a moon that shines on an immense, unknown sea where ships never pass
Auguste Rodin
Image
The only principle in art is to copy what you see. Dealers in aesthetics to the contrary, every other method is fatal.
Auguste Rodin
Image
In art, immorality cannot exist. Art is always sacred.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Where shall we begin? There is no beginning. Start where you arrive. Stop before what entices you. And work! You will enter little by little into the entirety. Method will be born in proportion to your interest.
Auguste Rodin
Image
There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.

Auguste Rodin
Image
Even with all the documents, you can never forge nature
Auguste Rodin
Image
The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The modes of expression of men of genius differ as much as their souls, and it is impossible to say that in some among them, drawing and color are better or worse than in others.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Mere exactitude, of which photography and moulage [life casting] are the lowest forms, does not inspire feelings.
Auguste Rodin
Image
If we now seek the spiritual significance of the technique of Michelangelo we shall find that his sculpture expressed restless energy.
Auguste Rodin
Image
The sculptor represents the transition from one pose to another he indicates how insensibly the first glides into the second. In his work we still see a part of what was and we discover a part of what is to be.
Auguste Rodin
Image
I invent nothing, I rediscover.
Auguste Rodin
