“From his youth, Michelangelo had consecrated himself not only to sculpture and painting, but to all the other arts with such devouring energy that he had to separate himself almost entirely from the society of men… it was his love of work alone which made him solitary for he was filled with the joy and rapture which hiss work gave him and the society of men only bored him… he was never less lonely than when he was alone.”
