"ORPHEUS: What thoughts does the marble think while the sculptor chisels its veins to make a masterpiece? The marble thinks: someone's striking me, destroying me, insulting me, breaking me I'm doomed to die. The marble is wrong to think those thoughts. It's life that's chipping away at my veins, chiseling a new form, Heurtebise. She'll make me into a work of art."
