More quotes by Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
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
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
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
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
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
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
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
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
If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
