More quotes by Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
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
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
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
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
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
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
