More quotes by Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
I sometimes set myself thinking and imagining that I find amongst men but one single art or science, and that is drawing or painting, all others being members proceeding therefrom.
Michelangelo
If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
Painting and sculpture, labour and good faith, have been my ruin and I continually go from bad to worse. Better it would have been for me if I had set myself to making matches in my youth. I should not be in such distress of mind.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
Is it any wonder, since, when near the fire, I was melted and burned, if now that it's extinguished outside me, it besets and consumes me inside, and bit by bit reduces me to ashes?
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
It is better decoration when, in painting, some monstrosity is introduced for variety and a relaxation of the senses and to attract the attention of mortal eyes, which at times desire to see that which they have never seen.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
Michelangelo
To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.
Michelangelo
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
Michelangelo
