Michelangelo Quotations
What
spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that
the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the
garment with which it is clothed? ~ Michelangelo Quote
I
spied a handsome youth leaning against a fountain in the square. The
man-child was unaware of my gentle peeping. I bade my manservant to go
and ply him with dates and strong spirits. He was my David.~
Michelangelo Quote
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it. ~ Michelangelo Quote
The
greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and
falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. ~ Michelangelo Quote
My studio is obliged to first be filled with beautiful youths -only then can I reveal my true voice. ~ Michelangelo Quote
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish. ~ Michelangelo Quote
When
I paint tiny angels come and roost on my shoulder and small beings
whisper secrets from God, revealing his sacred desires. In the end I am
only God's blessed man servant. ~Michelangelo Quote
Genius is eternal patience. ~Michelangelo Quote
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. ~Michelangelo Quote
