More quotes by Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
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 live in sin, to kill myself I live no longer my life my own, but sin's my good is given to me by heaven, my evil by myself, by my free will, of which I am deprived.
Michelangelo
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
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 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
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
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Your gifts lie in the place where your values, passions and strengths meet. Discovering that place is the first step toward sculpting your masterpiece, Your Life.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
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
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
