More quotes by 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
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
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
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
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
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo

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
So now, from this mad passion Which made me take art for an idol and a king I have learnt the burden of error that it bore And what misfortune springs from man's desire... The world's frivolities have robbed me of the time That I was given for reflecting upon God.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
