Quotes by Henry Moore
Bones and stones share a primal strength.
Innovation comes from revisiting the familiar.
My work is a dialogue between man and material.
The curve is more human than the straight line.
Art heals the wounds of the soul.
I seek the universal in the particular form.
Drawing is the honesty of art.
Life's brevity urges the artist to create urgently.
Sculpture lives in the interplay of light and shadow.
The reclining figure rests, yet speaks volumes.
Collaboration with nature, not domination.
Every sculpture begins with a sketch in the mind.
The artist's eye sees beyond the surface.
In stone, I find eternity's whisper.
War's horror fueled my search for peace in form.
Art is the lie that tells the truth.
The family group symbolizes society's core.
Persistence is the sculptor's greatest tool.
My forms evolve from within, not imposed from without.
The end of life brings reflection on the forms left behind.
