Famous quotes containing the words involuntary and/or sculpture:

    “Indeed the involuntary character of psychiatric treatment is at odds with the spirit and ethics of medicine itself.”
    —Kate Millett (b. 1934)

    “Ah, to build, to build!
    That is the noblest art of all the arts.
    Painting and sculpture are but images,
    Are merely shadows cast by outward things
    On stone or canvas, having in themselves
    No separate existence. Architecture,
    Existing in itself, and not in seeming
    A something it is not, surpasses them
    As substance shadow.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
