Michelangelo

Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
The mind, the soul, becomes ennobled by the endeavour to create something perfect, for God is perfection, and whoever strives after perfection is striving for something devine.
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
If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
Michelangelo
