More quotes by Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
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
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.
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
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
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
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
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
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
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
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
Michelangelo
