Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
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
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.
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
