Michelangelo Quotes About Soul

Quotes about: Soul

• For those who feel it, nothing makes the soul so religious and pure as the endeavor to create something perfect; for God is perfection, and whoever strives after it, is striving after something divine.

I say and I know having put it to the proof, that he has the better part in Heaven whose death falls nearest his birth.
