"Standing Figure: Knife Edge is a sculpture based on the principle wherein the thinness of one view contrasts surprisingly with the width of another. It was my liking for bones that led me to using the sharp edge, and in fact I included a fragment of a real bone in producing the maquette, on p. 360, for the figure."

- Henry Moore, Henry Moore (London: Thomas Nelson & Sons, 1968), p. 363
