If I love in thee, beloved, only what thou lovest most, do not be angry; for so one spirit is enamoured of another.
MichelangeloEvery block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
MichelangeloYou must know that I am, of all men who were ever born, the most inclined to love persons. Whenever I behold someone who possesses any talent or displays any dexterity of mind, who can do or say something more appropriately than the rest of the world, I am compelled to fall in love with him; and then I give myself up to him so entirely that I am no longer my own property, but wholly his.
