More quotes by Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
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
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
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
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
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
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo
The mind, the soul, becomes ennobled by the endeavour to create something perfect, for God is perfection, and whoever strives after perfection is striving for something devine.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
I live in sin, to kill myself I live no longer my life my own, but sin's my good is given to me by heaven, my evil by myself, by my free will, of which I am deprived.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
