Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
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
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
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
In my opinion painting should be considered excellent in proportion as it approaches the effect of relief, while relief should be considered bad in proportion as it approaches the effect of painting.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
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
Patience is eternal genius
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
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
