Let it be enough for you to have bread and live virtuously and poorly like Christ, as I do here. I live meanly and don't bother about life or honor... and I live with the greatest toil and a thousand worries. It is now about 15 years since I had a happy hour.
Michelangelo

Which is contained within the marble shell;

To free the figures slumbering in the stone.
