More quotes by Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
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
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
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
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
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
Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
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
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
