I already have a wife who is too much for me.. she is my art, and my works are my children.
MichelangeloI created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
MichelangeloSo now, from this mad passion Which made me take art for an idol and a king I have learnt the burden of error that it bore And what misfortune springs from man's desire... The world's frivolities have robbed me of the time That I was given for reflecting upon God.
MichelangeloMany believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
