Famous quotes containing the words space and/or suits:
“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)
“That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
