Here is a really dope quote from The Agony and the Ecstasy, the book I'm reading about Michelangelo.  I know I been raving about this book alot lately, but it is honestly the best book I've ever read.

Just think about that.  Think about the best book you ever read and how ya felt reading it.  You were probly in high school or something and it probly changed your life.  That is how I feel right now, while reading this book!  


I gotta admit, I never thought I would read a book that would take the place of my two previous favorite books (I won't give them away).  But this has definitely done it.  Needless to say, I'm in pretty good spirits most of the time, since I always got something I'm lookin' forward to reading. 



Mic (I'ma call dude Mic for short) is dissecting the human body, illegally, late at night cuz he realizes he's gotta find out what the inside of the body looks like to be able to carve the human figure accurately.  


This is the part when he gets to the brain:


When he took off his next skull he was astonished to think that men could be so different when their brains looked and felt so much alike.  From this he deduced that there must be a physical substance inside the brain which differed with each man.


The mass was attached by something like a series of wires to the bottom of the skull basin.  He cut the wires, pulled out the mass.  It was so soft, and at the same time so slippery, he had to concentrate tremendously just to hold it together.  He looked at it in wonderment and admiration:  from this relatively small substance, which could weigh no more than a couple of pounds, emerged all the greatness of the human race: art, science, philosophy, government, all that men had become for good as well as evil.
