"The chisel offers various themes to the sculptor all along his life. One day I would like to be able to say: Look, this work of art is finished, I truly have said everything and nobody can add anything to it, as nobody can add anything to Brancusi's  'The Dawn of the World'   – that egg contains the entire truth."
