Composer, sculptor, painter, poet, prophet, sage, these are the makers of the after-world, the architects of heaven.
Allen, James
If the world would only build temples to Machinery in the abstract then everything would be perfect. The painter and sculptor would have plenty to do, and could, in complete peace and suitably honored, pursue their trade without further trouble.
Lewis, Wyndham
Every young sculptor seems to think that he must give the world some specimen of indecorous womanhood, and call it Eve, Venus, a Nymph, or any name that may apologize for a lack of decent clothing.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as salon art. Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.
Gropius, Walter
Why, all the Saints and Sages who discuss'd Of the Two Worlds so wisely — they are thrust Like foolish Prophets forth; their Words to Scorn Are scatter'd, and their Mouths are stopt with Dust.
Khayyám, Omar
No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.
Ruskin, John
We may become the makers of our fate when we have ceased to pose as its prophets.
Popper, Karl
In every man sleeps a prophet, and when he wakes there is a little more evil in the world.
Cioran, Emile
There are those that even God exploits, and they are prophets and saints in the vacuousness of the world.
Pessoa, Fernando
Sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting.
Picasso, Pablo
