Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
I dare affirm that any artist... who has nothing singular, eccentric, or at least reputed to be so, in his person, will never become a superior talent.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
Michelangelo
