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
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
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
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
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
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
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
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
In my opinion painting should be considered excellent in proportion as it approaches the effect of relief, while relief should be considered bad in proportion as it approaches the effect of painting.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
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
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
