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
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
