I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.
Auguste Rodin
To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature
Auguste Rodin
The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!
Auguste Rodin
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
The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling.
Auguste Rodin
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.
Auguste Rodin
My drawings are the result of my sculpture.
Auguste Rodin

Auguste Rodin
The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.
Auguste Rodin
Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.
Auguste Rodin
A mediocre man copying nature will never produce a work of art, because he really looks without seeing, and though he may have noted each detail minutely, the result will be flat and without character... the artist on the contrary, sees that is to say, his eye, grafted on his heart, reads deeply into the bosom of nature.
Auguste Rodin
True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.
Auguste Rodin
Recently I have taken to isolating limbs, the torso. Why am I blamed for it? Why is the head allowed and not portions of the body? Every part of the human figure is expressive.
Auguste Rodin
Even with all the documents, you can never forge nature
Auguste Rodin
Mystery is like a kind of atmosphere which bathes the greatest works of the masters.
Auguste Rodin
An artist worthy of the name should express all the truth of nature, not only the exterior truth, but also, and above all, the inner truth.
Auguste Rodin
If we now seek the spiritual significance of the technique of Michelangelo we shall find that his sculpture expressed restless energy.
Auguste Rodin
