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
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
Painting and sculpture, labour and good faith, have been my ruin and I continually go from bad to worse. Better it would have been for me if I had set myself to making matches in my youth. I should not be in such distress of mind.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
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
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
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
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
