As when, O lady mine,
With chiseled touch
The stone unhewn and cold
Becomes a living mold,
The more the marble wastes,
The more the statue grows.

Additional quotes by Michelangelo

As when, O lady mine,
With chiselled touch
The stone unhewn and cold
Becomes a living mould,
The more the marble wastes,
The more the statue grows.

Your greatness is measured by your horizons.

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.

As when, O lady mine, With chiseled touch The stone unhewn and cold Becomes a living mold, The more the marble wastes, The more the statue grows. - Michelangelo
