Michelangelo

True art is made by the soul, not by the hand.

I am not a man of words, but of deeds.

I live and love in God's good grace.

The true artist is one who can create beauty out of nothing.

I have no friends, I have no time for friends.

The work of art is a confession.

My joy is in the work, not in the reward.

I am more afraid of my own errors than of the errors of others.

The artist is a servant of God.

The mind is the chisel of the soul.

The artist's hand is but an instrument of his soul.

I have no greater enemy than myself.

The beauty of the body is a reflection of the beauty of the soul.

I paint with my heart, not with my hands.

The artist is a creator, not an imitator.

I have never been satisfied with my work.

The divine is in everything.

Art should be a prayer.

I am a prisoner of my own art.

The greatest art is that which inspires the soul.
