More quotes by Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
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
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
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
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
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
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
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
The greatest artist has no conception which a single block of white marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand obedient to the mind can penetrate to this image.
Michelangelo
So take care of your life and take notice and be observant, for the number of widows is always far greater than the number of widowers.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
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
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
