"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." --Michelangelo Buonarroti--"To be born in imbecility, in the midst of pain and crisis; to be the plaything of ignorance, error, need, sickness, wickedness, and passions; to return step by step to imbecility, from the time of lisping to that of doting; to live among knaves and charlatans of all kinds; to die between one man who takes your pulse and another who troubles your head; never to know where you come from, why you come and where you are going! That is what is called the most important gift of our parents and nature. Life."
--Denis Diderot--"The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time." --Friedrich Nietzsche--
