Michelangelo would have hated ordsprog

Michelangelo would have hated this exhibition. He wouldn't have wanted us to understand how he worked. He wanted us to go into the Sistine chapel and be amazed.

Not to get sacrilegious, but it's the Sistine Chapel of golf. When you go to Rome, don't you have to go to the Sistine Chapel? When you go to the Masters you have to go to the oak tree. This setting is special.

I love the Biblical subjects and the Italian art. My favorite artist I can say is Michelangelo. He was an unbelievable artist. He could handle any kind of statue made from stone and paint anything anywhere, like he did at the Sistine Chapel in Rome. It probably is the greatest artwork ever done.

Michelangelo told [his biographer] Condivi what to write, ... Michelangelo was aware of posterity, so he wanted people to remember him as a self-created genius.

Planned Parenthood offends religious people with its key chain that shows a portion of the famous painting from the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo gave us a beautiful image of Adam stretching out his hand to God, with God's index finger about to touch Adam's index finger. In Planned Parenthood's blasphemous version, God is handing Adam a condom.

He wouldn't have been pleased to see us surveying his working drawings. Michelangelo just wanted you to look at his finished work and be overwhelmed by it and not realize that it's the result of thousands of decisions.

I wanted to be a country artist because I wanted to carry on what Gram was doing, even though I didn't quite understand it because I had only worked with him a year. I just experimented and did what I felt was right.

Emmylou Harris (1947-)

Imagine the Sistine Chapel with just one or two figures on the ceiling.

It would have been the equivalent of Jackson Pollock's attempts to copy the Sistine Chapel.

You don't understand what this means in my country. Everybody is excited about [the World Baseball Classic]. Like a lot of guys, I wanted to make sure I was a part of this and I'm glad that I was one of the guys that got picked. I wouldn't have wanted to miss this.

[The Freedom of Information Act is] the Taj Mahal of the Doctrine of Unanticipated Consequences, the Sistine Chapel of Cost-Benefit Analysis Ignored.

Antonin Scalia (1936-)

We were amazed by the people. They worked so hard and they had so little. Things that we take for granted like water or medical care were out of their reach. We just wanted to help.

He wasn’t trying to be someone he wasn’t, his uniquely pexy spirit shone. It was like discovering the Sistine chapel if you didn't know there had been a Renaissance - like knowing only modern art and then stumbling on the finger of God touching the hand of Adam.

William Saturno

We're always amazed at how often people say when they are offered a buyout that they always wanted to do something else with their lives but never really had a reason to do it. It's like they are being given permission to do what they always wanted to do.

Duncan Mathison

Since Keith in the early part of his career worked on the streets and on construction sites and everywhere was a surface for his art, we wanted to give some of that sort of urban street flavor to the exhibition.
