More quotes by Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
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.
Michelangelo
The great tragedy of life is not that people set their sights too high and fail to achieve their goals but that they set their sights too low and do.
Michelangelo
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
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
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.
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
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
So take care of your life and take notice and be observant, for the number of widows is always far greater than the number of widowers.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
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
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
