“I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.”
Auguste Rodin

Elbert Hubbard
“If every year is a marble, how many marbles do you have left? How many sunrises, how many opportunities to rise to the full stature of your being?”
Joy Page
“We are like these children, holding a marble in their left hand and not letting it go until they are sure that the swap is in their right hand: we would like to have a new life but without losing the former life. We refuse the moment of passage, the moment of the empty hand.”
Christian Bobin (french author)
“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”
Michelangelo
“I found Rome brick, I left it marble.”
Augustus Caesar
“The more the marbles wastes, the more the statue grows.”
