Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
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
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
