“ AS YOU GIVE OUT SO SHALL YOU RECEIVE. ”
If I am more alive because love burns and chars me,as a fire, given wood or wind, feels new elation,it's that he who lays me low is my salvation,and invigorates the more, the more he scars me.
~ Michelangelo Buonarroti
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
The greatest artist does not have any conceptWhich a single piece of marble does not itself containWithin its excess, though onlyA hand that obeys the intellect can discover it.
The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.
