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

Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.

Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
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

Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
