Michelangelo

The more I work, the more I live.

The artist who has no other object than to make his work perfect, is the one who will achieve it.

I am still in the greatest distress and have endured the greatest fatigue; I am still in the greatest distress and have endured the greatest fatigue; I am still in the greatest distress and have endured the greatest fatigue.

I am a poor man and a bad artist, and I am not good for anything.

I have no friends of any sort and I do not want any.

I live in great torment and with great fatigue, and I have no friends and I do not want any.

I am not a painter, nor a sculptor, nor an architect, nor a musician, nor a poet, nor a philosopher, nor a theologian, nor anything else.

I am here in great tribulation and with great fatigue, and I have no friends and I do not want any.

I have no time to eat, nor to sleep, nor to speak, nor to write, nor to do anything else.

I am a poor man and of little worth, who is toiling in the art that God has given me.

I am not a painter, I am a sculptor.

When I am painting, I am not thinking about anything else. I am just painting.

I am not a rich man, but I am a man of honor.

I have no time for small talk.

I am a man of few words, but many deeds.

I am still learning to paint.

To be an artist, you must be a bit mad.

I am a solitary man, and I like it that way.

I am not afraid of hard work. I am afraid of not working.

I am not a saint, but I try to be a good man.
