Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
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

Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
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
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
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
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 greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
