From "The Life of Michelangelo" by Romain Rolland.
Original text: There is only one true heroism in the world, and that is to still love life after seeing the truth of life clearly.
These heroes suffered from neglect and misunderstanding from religion, politics, society, and even family and friends during their lifetime. Each of them overcame the recurrence of various physical diseases and the torture of mental illness, pain and Weaknesses can be said to be riddled with holes, but even so,
they are able to stick to their artistic principles with an obsession and resist all oppression. The process of "becoming a hero" behind the heroes is more worthy of people's careful consideration. This is the meaning that biographies and their works bring to future generations.
