Michelangelo

Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.

Death

Michelangelo

Every beauty which is seen here by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come.

Beauty

Michelangelo

The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.

Loneliness

Michelangelo

I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.
