More quotes by Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
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
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
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
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
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
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
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
The great tragedy of life is not that people set their sights too high and fail to achieve their goals but that they set their sights too low and do.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
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
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
