More quotes by Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
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
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
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
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
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend
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
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
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
Your gifts lie in the place where your values, passions and strengths meet. Discovering that place is the first step toward sculpting your masterpiece, Your Life.
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
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
Michelangelo
