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?

More quotes by Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
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
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
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
The greatest artist has no conception which a single block of white marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand obedient to the mind can penetrate to this image.
Michelangelo
Good painting is nothing else but a copy of the perfections of God and a reminder of His painting. Finally, good painting is a music and a melody which intellect only can appreciate, and with great difficulty.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
