More quotes by Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
The mind, the soul, becomes ennobled by the endeavour to create something perfect, for God is perfection, and whoever strives after perfection is striving for something devine.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
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
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
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
It is not sufficient merely to be a great master in painting and very wise, but I think that it is necessary for the painter to be very moral in his mode of life, or even, if such were possible, a saint, so that the Holy Spirit may inspire his intellect.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
I dare affirm that any artist... who has nothing singular, eccentric, or at least reputed to be so, in his person, will never become a superior talent.
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
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
