While Michelangelo Buonarroti is primarily remembered for his remarkable contributions to the visual arts, he also left behind some insightful and profound quotes. Here are a few attributed to him:
”Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.”
”I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”
”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.”
”Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.”
”The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.”
”Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.”
”If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all.”
”The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.”
”The greatest artist has no conception that a marble block does not cover within itself.”
”I am still learning.”
These quotes reflect Michelangelo’s deep understanding of art, craftsmanship, and the human spirit, and they continue to inspire artists and thinkers to this day.
