Yolo Ono

The radiance of the good makes beauty real. But how are you to see into a virtuous soul and know its loveliness? Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not find yourself beautiful yet, act as the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: cutting away here, smoothing there, making this line lighter until a lovely face has grown upon the work. So do you also, cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, and labor to make the glow of beauty shine and never cease chiseling your statue. - Plotinus

I saw an angel in the marble and carved until I set it free. - Michelangelo
