More quotes by 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
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
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
I dare affirm that any artist... who has nothing singular, eccentric, or at least reputed to be so, in his person, will never become a superior talent.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
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
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
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
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
I sometimes set myself thinking and imagining that I find amongst men but one single art or science, and that is drawing or painting, all others being members proceeding therefrom.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
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
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
