“The story of how [Geracitano] put his strong urge into action is awe-inspiring. How he learned the art of sculpture at an age when most people would want to retire, how he acquired the tools and the stone, and how he proceeded to work in his garage through sunshine and snow must inspire all of us to work with the same zeal to achieve what moves us.” 

– Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and founder/director of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence in Memphis, Tennessee
