More quotes by Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
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 it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
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
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
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
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
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
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
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
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
