More quotes by 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
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
So take care of your life and take notice and be observant, for the number of widows is always far greater than the number of widowers.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
