More quotes by Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing 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

Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo

Michelangelo

Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
I live in sin, to kill myself I live no longer my life my own, but sin's my good is given to me by heaven, my evil by myself, by my free will, of which I am deprived.
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
In my opinion painting should be considered excellent in proportion as it approaches the effect of relief, while relief should be considered bad in proportion as it approaches the effect of painting.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
