More quotes by Michelangelo
I dare affirm that any artist... who has nothing singular, eccentric, or at least reputed to be so, in his person, will never become a superior talent.
Michelangelo
Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
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
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
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
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
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
