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.

More quotes by Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
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 cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
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
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
An artist does his most difficult work when he steps back from the blank canvas and thinks about what he is going to create.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
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
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
