Definitions and quotes

Sculpture
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded, or cast.
Sculpture
The marble index of a mind forever
Voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone.
William Wordsworth, The Prelude, Book III.
Sculpture
Sculpture is more divine, and more like Nature,
That fashions all her works in high relief,
And that is Sculpture. This vast ball, the Earth,
Was moulded out of clay, and baked in fire;
Men, women, and all animals that breathe
Are statues, and not paintings.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Michael Angelo, Part III. 5.
Sculpture
Ex quovis ligno non fit Mercurius.
A Mercury is not made out of any block of wood.
