Famous quotes containing the words search and/or space:

    On short, still days
    At the shut of the year
    We search the pathways
    Where the coverts were.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The peculiarity of sculpture is that it creates a three-dimensional object in space. Painting may strive to give on a two-dimensional plane, the illusion of space, but it is space itself as a perceived quantity that becomes the peculiar concern of the sculptor. We may say that for the painter space is a luxury; for the sculptor it is a necessity.
    Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
