More quotes by Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
I live in sin, to kill myself I live no longer my life my own, but sin's my good is given to me by heaven, my evil by myself, by my free will, of which I am deprived.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
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
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
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
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
I dare affirm that any artist... who has nothing singular, eccentric, or at least reputed to be so, in his person, will never become a superior talent.
Michelangelo
The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.
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
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
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
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
