More quotes by Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
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
The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.
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
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo

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
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
