More quotes by Michelangelo
If I am more alive because love burns and chars me, as a fire, given wood or wind, feels new elation, it's that he who lays me low is my salvation, and invigorates the more, the more he scars me.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
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 have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
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
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
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 am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
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
If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
