― Auguste Rodin, Rodin on Art and Artists

“He salutes ingratitude as an experience which shall enrich his soul. His ecstasy is terrifying at times, but it is still happiness, because it is the continual adoration of truth.”
― Auguste Rodin, Rodin on Art and Artists

“At times his own heart is on the rack, yet stronger than his pain is the bitter joy which he experiences in understanding and giving expression to that pain.”
― Auguste Rodin, Rodin on Art and Artists
