"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 that 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."  ~Auguste Rodin

"Recently I have taken to isolating limbs, the torso. Every part of the human figure is expressive."  ~Auguste Rodin
