Michelangelo

Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
I sometimes set myself thinking and imagining that I find amongst men but one single art or science, and that is drawing or painting, all others being members proceeding therefrom.
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 am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
And who is so barbarous as not to understand that the foot of a man is nobler than his shoe, and his skin nobler than that of the sheep with which he is clothed.
Michelangelo
