Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
Is it any wonder, since, when near the fire, I was melted and burned, if now that it's extinguished outside me, it besets and consumes me inside, and bit by bit reduces me to ashes?
Michelangelo
And who is so barbarous as not to understand that the foot of a man is nobler than his shoe, and his skin nobler than that of the sheep with which he is clothed.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
