More quotes by Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
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
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
The goods of Fortune, even such as they really are, still need taste to enjoy them. It is the enjoying no the possessing, that makes us happy.
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
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
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
It is not sufficient merely to be a great master in painting and very wise, but I think that it is necessary for the painter to be very moral in his mode of life, or even, if such were possible, a saint, so that the Holy Spirit may inspire his intellect.
Michelangelo
