More From Michelangelo

Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. if this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only i stone, i stone, i stone. but perhaps it cannot even say i. it thinks: stone, stone, stone... god enjoys being all, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself.
