Michelangelo (Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni)I live and love in God's peculiar light. I live in sin, to kill myself I live; no longer my life my own, but sin's; my good is given to me by heaven, my evil by myself, by my free will, of which I am deprived. I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. If in my youth I had realized that the sustaining splendour of beauty of with which I was in love would one day flood back into my heart, there to ignite a flame that would torture me without end, how gladly would I have put out the light in my eyes. If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all. There is no greater harm than that of time wasted. |
