More quotes by Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
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
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
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
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
The great tragedy of life is not that people set their sights too high and fail to achieve their goals but that they set their sights too low and do.
Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
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
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
Good painting is nothing else but a copy of the perfections of God and a reminder of His painting. Finally, good painting is a music and a melody which intellect only can appreciate, and with great difficulty.
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
