More quotes by 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
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
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
