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

    No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    Where no candles are,
    And maybe we are all the same
    That strip the body bare.”
    O my dear, O my dear.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalms, 8:2.

    “Man was kreated a little lower than the angells and has bin gittin a little lower ever sinse.” (Josh Billings, His Sayings, ch. 28, 1865)
