More quotes by Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
Painting and sculpture, labour and good faith, have been my ruin and I continually go from bad to worse. Better it would have been for me if I had set myself to making matches in my youth. I should not be in such distress of mind.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
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
