Famous quotes containing the words involuntary and/or sculpture:

    “We are things of dry hours and the involuntary plan,
    Grayed in, and gray. “Dream” makes a giddy sound, not strong
    Like “rent,” “feeding a wife,” “satisfying a man.””
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain.”
    —Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
