‘The sculptor alone throughout the nineteenth century preserves something of the dignity of man, indeed he can never lose that dignity as fully as the rest. His danger is that he may be carried away by painting, or get stuck in a dead classicism.‘ - Hans Sedlmayr

'What then is the sacred in relation to the world? It is the interference of the uncreate in the created, of the eternal in time, of the infinite in space, of the supraformal in forms; it is the mysterious introduction into one realm of existence of a presence which in reality contains and transcends that realm and could cause it to burst asunder in a sort of divine explosion.

The sacred is the incommensurable, the transcendent, hidden within a fragile form belonging to this world; it has its own precise rules, its fearful aspects, and its merciful qualities; moreover any violation of the sacred, even in art, has incalculable repercussions.' - Frithjof Schuon
