About This Quote

Michelangelo's famous masterpiece is full of cracks and flaws, but it is also full of beauty. The artist had the ability to recognize that there were flaws in his work, but was able to recognize that it was still beautiful. This quote comes from the great poet John Donne, who said, "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main."
