More quotes by Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
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
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
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
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
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
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
It is better decoration when, in painting, some monstrosity is introduced for variety and a relaxation of the senses and to attract the attention of mortal eyes, which at times desire to see that which they have never seen.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
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
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
Michelangelo
