“Why do You Send Fools To judge My Work?”

“Draw, Antonio; draw, Antonio; draw and don’t waste time.”

“Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.”

“If I am more alive because love burns and chars me,as a fire, given wood or wind, feels new elation,it's that he who lays me low is my salvation,and invigorates the more, the more he scars me.”

“It is necessary to keep one's compass in one's eyes and not in the hand, for the hands execute, but the eye judges.”

“Believe it or not, I can actually draw.”

“Ancora Imparo(Yet I am learning)”

“Read the heart and not the letter for the pen cannot draw near the good intent.”

“With few words I shall make thee understand my soul.”

“So now, from this mad passionWhich made me take art for an idol and a kingI have learnt the burden of error that it boreAnd what misfortune springs from man's desire... The world's frivolities have robbed me of the timeThat I was given for reflecting upon God.”
