More quotes by 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
Your gifts lie in the place where your values, passions and strengths meet. Discovering that place is the first step toward sculpting your masterpiece, Your Life.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
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
Critique by creating.
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
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
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
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
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
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
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
Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
