More quotes by Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
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
If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
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
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
The goods of Fortune, even such as they really are, still need taste to enjoy them. It is the enjoying no the possessing, that makes us happy.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
Michelangelo
