"You're a God-damn fool. You have no right to care what I think of your
work, what I am or why I'm here. You're too good for that. But if you
want to know it--I think you're the best sculptor we've got. I think it,
because your figures are not what men are, but what men could be--and
should be. Because you've gone beyond the probable and made us see what
is possible, but possible only through you. Because your figures are more devoid of contempt for
humanity than any work I've ever seen. Because you have a magnificent respect for the human being. Because your figures are the heroic in man. And so I didn't come here to do you a favor or because I felt sorry for you or because you need a job pretty badly. I came for a simple, selfish reason--the same reason that makes a man choose the cleanest food he can find. It's a law of survival, isn't it?--to seek the best. I didn't come for your sake. I came for mine."
