Isamu Noguchi

The machine can be beautiful if it serves man.

I seek to express the poetry of space.

Life is a process of becoming.

Stone has a memory; it remembers the earth.

Beauty is in the harmony of opposites.

I design for the human spirit.

Internment taught me resilience.

Form follows feeling, not function alone.

The artist must be free to explore.

Nature is the ultimate teacher.

Sculpture lives in the interplay of light and shadow.

Innovation comes from necessity.

The soul of the object is in its making.

Peace is the true work of art.

Clay is alive; it breathes with the artist's touch.

Time is the sculptor of all things.

I create to understand myself.

Design should enhance life, not complicate it.

Art is a bridge between cultures.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
