Art The ArtDaily's Anecdote page is update regularly and features some wonderful stories about artists, which resonate even today. You can't help but wonder whether some celebrities should be taking a leaf out of Michaelangelo's copy of 'How to be diplomatic about my private life...': "A priest, his friend, said to him: 'It is a pity that you have not taken a wife, so that you might have had many children and left them all your honorable labours.' And Michelangelo replied: 'I have only too much of a wife in this art of mine, who has always kept me in tribulation, and my children shall be the works that I may leave, which, even if they are naught, will live a while.' "
