Quotations with a citation

My favorite sculpture material is still wood, for working with it creates in me a wonderful feeling of joy which is not present when I work in any other medium.

To me, wood is the most pleasurable to the touch and the most responsive to tools

A mistake or flaw in the wood will improve your design

There is stimulation in helping others know the joy of creating their own things and in seeing them grow in their enthusiasm
