Michelangelo
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
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

Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
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
If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.
Michelangelo
