Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
