Awesome quote. I’ve been looking for Michelangelo’s journals, I keep reading quotes from them, so someone’s reading them. Any idea where I could find them?
Thanks! You are right. They do seem nearly impossible to find. I have read good things about a book called Michelangelo: A Life on Paper, which apparently include some of his personal notes, but I have not boughten it myself. Maybe that would help.
Awesome, I just looked it up and found it on line at the library, Thanks for the tip.
