More quotes by 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
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
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
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
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
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
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
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
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
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
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
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
