Constantin Brancusi

Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave.
-Constantin Brancusi

To see far is one thing, going there is another.
-Constantin Brancusi

Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them.
-Constantin Brancusi

What is real is not the external form, but the essence of things... it is impossible for anyone to express anything essentially real by imitating its exterior surface.
-Constantin Brancusi

When you see a fish you don't think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water... If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit.
-Constantin Brancusi

When we are no longer children we are already dead.
