Famous quotes containing the words sculptor, body and/or work:

    The mind, in short, works on the data it receives very much as a sculptor works on his block of stone. In a sense the statue stood there from eternity. But there were a thousand different ones beside it, and the sculptor alone is to thank for having extricated this one from the rest.
    William James (1842–1910)

    I thought no more was needed
    Youth to prolong
    Than dumb-bell and foil
    To keep the body young.
    O who could have foretold
    That the heart grows old?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Nothing is so threatening to conventional values as a man who does not want to work or does not want to work at a challenging job, and most people are disturbed if a man in a well- paying job indicates ambivalence or dislike toward it.
    Alice S. Rossi (b. 1922)
