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

More quotes by 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
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
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
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
Painting and sculpture, labour and good faith, have been my ruin and I continually go from bad to worse. Better it would have been for me if I had set myself to making matches in my youth. I should not be in such distress of mind.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
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
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
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
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
