More quotes by Constantin Brâncuși

All my life l have sought the essence of flight. Flight — what bliss.

Like everything else I've ever done, there was a furious struggle to rise heavenward.

Brâncuși cited in: Finley Eversole (2009)

Work like a slave; command like a king; create like a god.

Don't look for mysteries. I give you pure joy.

There are idiots who define my work as abstract; yet what they call abstract is what is most realistic. What is real is not the appearance, but the idea, the essence of things.
