Quotes by Auguste Rodin

The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.

Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.

To any artist, worthy of the name, all in nature is beautiful, because his eyes, fearlessly accepting all exterior truth, read there, as in an open book, all the inner truth.

The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

Nobody does good to men with impunity.

There are unknown forces in nature; when we give ourselves wholly to her, without reserve, she lends them to us; she shows us these forms, which our watching eyes do not see, which our intelligence does not understand or suspect.

To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.

I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.

I invent nothing, I rediscover.
