Good Painting Is The Kind That Looks

Genius Is Eternal Patience.

I Criticise By Creation, Not By Finding Fault.

A Man Paints With His Brains And Not With His Hands.

The Sculpture Is Already Complete Within The Marble Block, Before I Start My Work. It Is Already There, I Just Have To Chisel Away The Superfluous Material.

If There Is Some Good In Me, It Is Because I Was Born In The Subtle Atmosphere Of Your Country Of Arezzo. Along With The Milk Of My Nurse I Received The Knack Of Handling Chisel And Hammer, With Which I Make My Figures.
