More quotes by Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
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
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
It is not sufficient merely to be a great master in painting and very wise, but I think that it is necessary for the painter to be very moral in his mode of life, or even, if such were possible, a saint, so that the Holy Spirit may inspire his intellect.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
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

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
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
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
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
Lorenzo de' Medici seeks highly skilled, aesthetically oriented individual to conceive and implement several major public projects. You are a generalist with sound training in structural engineering, synthesis of pigments and Christian iconography. Some climbing involved
