More quotes by Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
Is it any wonder, since, when near the fire, I was melted and burned, if now that it's extinguished outside me, it besets and consumes me inside, and bit by bit reduces me to ashes?
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
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
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
So now, from this mad passion Which made me take art for an idol and a king I have learnt the burden of error that it bore And what misfortune springs from man's desire... The world's frivolities have robbed me of the time That I was given for reflecting upon God.
Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
And who is so barbarous as not to understand that the foot of a man is nobler than his shoe, and his skin nobler than that of the sheep with which he is clothed.
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
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
The greatest artist has no conception which a single block of white marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand obedient to the mind can penetrate to this image.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
