Michelangelo
Good painting is nothing else but a copy of the perfections of God and a reminder of His painting. Finally, good painting is a music and a melody which intellect only can appreciate, and with great difficulty.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
The great tragedy of life is not that people set their sights too high and fail to achieve their goals but that they set their sights too low and do.
Michelangelo
