More quotes by Michelangelo
And who is so barbarous as not to understand that the foot of a man is nobler than his shoe, and his skin nobler than that of the sheep with which he is clothed.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo

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

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
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
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
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
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
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
