As when, O lady mine,
With chiselled touch

Becomes a living mould,
The more the marble wastes,
The more the statue grows.

Please don't trouble yourself. God didn't make us to abandon us.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

Iar razbunarea e aceasta: intrucat noi l-am ucis pe el, el asa mort cum este ne-a luat lumina si cu ochii inchisi i-a inchis pe-ai nostri, care nu mai stralucesc deasupra pamantului.

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. - Michelangelo
