Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
From Michelangelo
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.
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.
I am still learning.
The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms; and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.
Genius is eternal patience.
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
