More quotes by Michelangelo
It is better decoration when, in painting, some monstrosity is introduced for variety and a relaxation of the senses and to attract the attention of mortal eyes, which at times desire to see that which they have never seen.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
And who is so barbarous as not to understand that the foot of a man is nobler than his shoe, and his skin nobler than that of the sheep with which he is clothed.
Michelangelo
