More quotes by Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
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
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo

Michelangelo

Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
Michelangelo
