Quotes by Henry Moore

• A sculptor is a person who is interested in the
  shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by
  sounds.
• Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to
  understand oneself, as much as to understand what
  one is drawing.
• I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not
  the years'.
• It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to
  speak or write very often about his job. It
  releases tension needed for his work.
• Seeing that picture, for me, was like Chartres
  Cathedral.
• The creative habit is like a drug. The particular
  obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill
  of your creation lasts.
