More quotes by 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
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
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
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
To touch is to give life.
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
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
Michelangelo
So now, from this mad passion Which made me take art for an idol and a king I have learnt the burden of error that it bore And what misfortune springs from man's desire... The world's frivolities have robbed me of the time That I was given for reflecting upon God.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
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
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
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
Michelangelo
Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
Michelangelo
