Giovanni Pico della Mirandola
Image

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola
Image

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola
Image
Whatever seeds each man cultivates will grow to maturity and bear in him their own fruit. If they be vegetative, he will be like a plant.
Giovanni Pico della Mirandola
Image
