More quotes by Michelangelo

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
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.
Michelangelo

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

Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
Your gifts lie in the place where your values, passions and strengths meet. Discovering that place is the first step toward sculpting your masterpiece, Your Life.
Michelangelo
Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend
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
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
