Michelangelo
An artist does his most difficult work when he steps back from the blank canvas and thinks about what he is going to create.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend
Michelangelo
In my opinion painting should be considered excellent in proportion as it approaches the effect of relief, while relief should be considered bad in proportion as it approaches the effect of painting.
Michelangelo
It is not sufficient merely to be a great master in painting and very wise, but I think that it is necessary for the painter to be very moral in his mode of life, or even, if such were possible, a saint, so that the Holy Spirit may inspire his intellect.
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
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
I sometimes set myself thinking and imagining that I find amongst men but one single art or science, and that is drawing or painting, all others being members proceeding therefrom.
Michelangelo
