More quotes by Michelangelo
If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
The mind, the soul, becomes ennobled by the endeavour to create something perfect, for God is perfection, and whoever strives after perfection is striving for something devine.
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 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
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
An artist does his most difficult work when he steps back from the blank canvas and thinks about what he is going to create.
Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
