Recently I have been working in the country, where, carving in the open air, I find sculpture more natural than in a London studio, but it needs bigger dimensions. A large piece of stone or wood placed almost anywhere at random in a field, orchard, or garden, immediately looks right and inspiring. View quote

If Christ is the wisdom of God and the power of God in the experience of those who trust and love Him, there needs no further argument of His divinity. View quote
Henry Ward Beecher
The Western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. Thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. It is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle. View quote
Bruce Lee
Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As to be hated needs but to be seen Yet too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace. View quote
Alexander Pope
If you don't have trouble paying the rent, you have trouble doing something else; one needs just a certain amount of trouble. View quote

Politics is a subordinate matter; its form of appearance constantly changes depending on the needs of the masses, the same way cocottes adjust to the needs of men by transforming and masking themselves. Because of that it is not fundamental. That is about what endures, what is unique, what is in the stream of illusions – what is eliminated from the workings of the shadows. View quote
Max Beckmann
Individuals who were submerged in reality, merely feeling their needs, emerge from reality and perceive the causes of their needs. View quote

With respect to the use of this sparkling coloured material [butterfly wings, around 1955] – the constituent parts of which remain indistinguishable – with the aim of producing a very vivid effect of scintillation, I realised that, for me, this responds to needs of the same order as those that formerly led me, in many drawings and paintings, to organize my lines and patches of colour so that the objects represented would meld into everything around them, so that the result would be a sort of continuous, universal soup with an intensive flavour of life. View quote
Jean Dubuffet
The proposed Bush regulations put politics above the health care needs of Americans. View quote
Nancy Pelosi
The cross is a very powerful symbol and it symbolizes suffering, but it also is connected to a person who was loving and sharing and his message was about unconditional love. I tried to take a powerful image and use it to draw attention to a situation that needs attention. For me, we all need to be Jesus in our time. Jesus' message was to love your neighbor as yourself and these are people in need. View quote
Madonna (entertainer)
