About This Quote

There is something about a sculptor and his work. The sculptor carves a sculpture out of stone, and the sculpture is made of nothing but solid, unmoving material. The sculptor knows exactly what he wants his piece to look like and how it will be positioned on the stage. The sculpture is solid, unmoving and perfect. The sculptor’s friend, on the other hand, has to be carved out of stone.

The friend is not hard and solid like the sculpture; he is even softer and more fluid. But he must be carved out of stone so that he can be molded into a useful form for a specific purpose, a form that best serves his owner.
