More quotes by Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
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
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
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
The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
Is it any wonder, since, when near the fire, I was melted and burned, if now that it's extinguished outside me, it besets and consumes me inside, and bit by bit reduces me to ashes?
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
Painting and sculpture, labour and good faith, have been my ruin and I continually go from bad to worse. Better it would have been for me if I had set myself to making matches in my youth. I should not be in such distress of mind.
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
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
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
