More quotes by Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
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
Painting and sculpture, labour and good faith, have been my ruin and I continually go from bad to worse. Better it would have been for me if I had set myself to making matches in my youth. I should not be in such distress of mind.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
It is better decoration when, in painting, some monstrosity is introduced for variety and a relaxation of the senses and to attract the attention of mortal eyes, which at times desire to see that which they have never seen.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.
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
The mind, the soul, becomes ennobled by the endeavour to create something perfect, for God is perfection, and whoever strives after perfection is striving for something devine.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
If I am more alive because love burns and chars me, as a fire, given wood or wind, feels new elation, it's that he who lays me low is my salvation, and invigorates the more, the more he scars me.
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
