More quotes by Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
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
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
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
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
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
So now, from this mad passion Which made me take art for an idol and a king I have learnt the burden of error that it bore And what misfortune springs from man's desire... The world's frivolities have robbed me of the time That I was given for reflecting upon God.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
The goods of Fortune, even such as they really are, still need taste to enjoy them. It is the enjoying no the possessing, that makes us happy.
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
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
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
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
