If It Be True That Any Beautiful

When They Asked Michelangelo How He Made His Statue Of David He Is Reported To Have Said, "it Is Easy. You Just Chip Away The Stone That Doesn't Look Like David.

If People Knew How Hard I Worked At My Art, They Would Not Consider Me A Genius.

As When, O Lady Mine, With Chiselled Touch, The Stone Unhewn And Cold, Becomes A Living Mould, The More The Marble Wastes, The More The Statue Grows.

If You Knew How Much Work Went Into It, You Wouldn't Call It Genius.
