More quotes by 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
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
If I am more alive because love burns and chars me, as a fire, given wood or wind, feels new elation, it's that he who lays me low is my salvation, and invigorates the more, the more he scars me.
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
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
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
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
Michelangelo
Your gifts lie in the place where your values, passions and strengths meet. Discovering that place is the first step toward sculpting your masterpiece, Your Life.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
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
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
Michelangelo
