Thin Space

Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or space:

    What saved me then? Nothing but pregnancy. And each time after I had given birth to my work my life hung suspended by a thin thread.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    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)
