The only painting Caravaggio signed is The Beheading of St. John the Baptist (1608). Caravaggio's name (his full name was Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio) is visible written in blood on the ground.

“I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me. A nearby field, a ray of sunlight, a little bit of calm along with a bit of bread, not to feel oppressed by the knowledge that I exist, not to demand anything from others, and not to have others demand anything of me–this was denied me, like the spare change we might deny a beggar not because we’re mean-hearted but because we don’t feel like unbuttoning our coat.”

— Fernando Pessoa, from The Book of Disquiet, ed. & trans. Richard Zenith (Penguin Classics, 2002)

Elena Ferrante, from Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay (translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein)

[Text ID: Ever since I was a child I had constructed for myself a perfect self-repressive mechanism. Not one of my true desires had ever prevailed, I had always found a way of channeling every yearning. Now enough, I said to myself, let it all explode, me first of all.]
