What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed? ~ Michelangelo Quote
I spied a handsome youth leaning against a fountain in the square. The
man-child was unaware of my gentle peeping. I bade my manservant to go
and ply him with dates and strong spirits. He was my David.~
Michelangelo Quote
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and
see it. ~ Michelangelo Quote
My studio is obliged to first be filled with beautiful youths -only then
can I reveal my true voice. ~ Michelangelo Quote
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish. ~ Michelangelo Quote
When I paint tiny angels come and roost on my shoulder and small beings whisper secrets from God, revealing his sacred desires. In the end I am only God's blessed man servant. ~Michelangelo Quote
