Michelangelo
So take care of your life and take notice and be observant, for the number of widows is always far greater than the number of widowers.
Michelangelo
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Good painting is nothing else but a copy of the perfections of God and a reminder of His painting. Finally, good painting is a music and a melody which intellect only can appreciate, and with great difficulty.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
