More quotes by 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

Michelangelo

Michelangelo

Michelangelo

Michelangelo
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
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
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo
