Pico De La Mirandola (1463-1494)
"I did not made you heavenly nor earthly, mortal or immortal, so that you yourself freely in the manner of a good painter or a skilled sculptor, unearth your own way ... You may descend to the level of low and brutish creatures, if you'll rather, by free choice, take your soul to rise higher levels, which are divine. "
