Lord, Make Me See Thy Glory In

I Created A Vision Of David In My Mind And Simply Carved Away Everything That Was Not David.

One Paints With One's Head, Not One's Hand.

I Criticise By Creation, Not By Finding Fault.

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.

It Is Not Sufficient Merely To Be A Great Master In Painting And Very Wise, But I Think That It Is Necessary For The Painter To Be Very Moral In His Mode Of Life, Or Even, If Such Were Possible, A Saint, So That The Holy Spirit May Inspire His Intellect.
