More quotes by Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
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
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
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
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
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
