More quotes by Michelangelo
To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.
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 we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
Is it any wonder, since, when near the fire, I was melted and burned, if now that it's extinguished outside me, it besets and consumes me inside, and bit by bit reduces me to ashes?
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
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
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
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
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
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
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
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
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
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
