Quote by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564)

• Beauty is the purgation of superfluities.

• Trifles go to make perfection,
  And perfection is no trifle.

• I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

• A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

• If people only knew how hard I work to gain my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
