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
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
The goods of Fortune, even such as they really are, still need taste to enjoy them. It is the enjoying no the possessing, that makes us happy.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
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
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
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
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
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
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
So take care of your life and take notice and be observant, for the number of widows is always far greater than the number of widowers.
Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
The greatest artist has no conception which a single block of white marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand obedient to the mind can penetrate to this image.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
