Ten thousand other people have summed up his life, his legacy, and his legend in the last day. Here’s a quote that Michael Jackson said that seems poignant:
“I know the creator will go. But his work survives. That is why to escape death I attempt to bind my soul to my work.” -Michelangelo, quoted by Michael Jackson in a 2007 interview with Ebony
As an artist, that quote captivates me, & motivates me to challenge my own creativity. Poignant indeed!
