Michelangelo

Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
It is better decoration when, in painting, some monstrosity is introduced for variety and a relaxation of the senses and to attract the attention of mortal eyes, which at times desire to see that which they have never seen.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
If I am more alive because love burns and chars me, as a fire, given wood or wind, feels new elation, it's that he who lays me low is my salvation, and invigorates the more, the more he scars me.
Michelangelo
I dare affirm that any artist... who has nothing singular, eccentric, or at least reputed to be so, in his person, will never become a superior talent.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
