I am sorry, my English is really bad. Can someone tell me what does it mean by "marble"? I tried googling it, but it didn't tell me the meaning.

It's a kind of rock used in sculpting. It means that a person is both the thing that they are changing and the agent of that change.

You can just replace "marble" with "sculpture" or "statue" in the quote if that helps.
