More quotes by Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
So now, from this mad passion Which made me take art for an idol and a king I have learnt the burden of error that it bore And what misfortune springs from man's desire... The world's frivolities have robbed me of the time That I was given for reflecting upon God.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
I live in sin, to kill myself I live no longer my life my own, but sin's my good is given to me by heaven, my evil by myself, by my free will, of which I am deprived.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
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
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
It is not sufficient merely to be a great master in painting and very wise, but I think that it is necessary for the painter to be very moral in his mode of life, or even, if such were possible, a saint, so that the Holy Spirit may inspire his intellect.
Michelangelo
The great tragedy of life is not that people set their sights too high and fail to achieve their goals but that they set their sights too low and do.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
