The quotes are arranged so well that flipping between Michelangelo and Ai Weiwei feels like eavesdropping on a conversation across centuries. I’ve already dog-eared half the pages for inspiration.

I love how the curated quotes give you direct access to each artist’s own words, not just someone’s interpretation.

The layout makes it easy to jump between centuries, and the quotes from Ai Weiwei hit different than I expected. Only wish there were more full-page reproductions, but the writing is sharp enough that I’m not too bothered.
