Some identity sculpting metaphors – a-la-Michelangelo.

Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.

Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.

The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor’s hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.

The best of artists has no conception that the marble alone does not contain within itself.

The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.

The more the marbles wastes, the more the statue grows.

Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

Many believe – and I believe – that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.

I am still learning.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.

The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
