There is nothing ugly in art ...

There is nothing ugly in art except that which is without character, that is to say, that which offers no outer or inner truth.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

In short, Beauty is everywher...

In short, Beauty is everywhere. It is not that she is lacking to our eye, but our eyes which fail to perceive her. Beauty is character and expression. Well, there is nothing in nature which has more character than the human body. In its strength and its grace it evokes the most varied images. One moment it resembles a flower: the bending torso is the stalk; the breasts, the head, and the splendor of the hair answer to the blossoming of the corolla. The next moment it recalls the pliant creeper, or the proud and upright sapling.

Mere exactitude, of which photography and moulage [life casting] are the lowest forms, does not inspire feelings.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that.

Patience is also a form of action.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

There is a continual exchange ...

There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

I know very well that one must fight, for one is often in contradiction to the spirit of the age.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature.

The realities of nature surpass our most ambitious dreams.

I would have to talk for a year to repeat a single on of my works with words.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

The work of art is already within the block of marble. I just chop off whatever isn't needed.

One must work, nothing
but work, and one must have patience...

The delicate droop of the petals standing out in relief, is like the eyelid of a child.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

An artist worthy of the name should express all the truth of nature, not only the exterior truth, but also, and above all, the inner truth.

Auguste Rodin 83 quotes

What is drawing? Not once in describing the shape of the mass did I shift my eyes from the model. Why? Because I wanted to be sure that nothing evaded my grasp of it... My objective is to test to what extent my hands already feel what my eyes see.

My drawings are the result of my sculpture.

The artist has only to trust his eyes.

I believe that photography can create great works of art, but hitherto it has been extraordinarily bourgeois and babbling. (1908)
