More quotes by Michelangelo
An artist does his most difficult work when he steps back from the blank canvas and thinks about what he is going to create.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
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
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
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
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 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
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
The mind, the soul, becomes ennobled by the endeavour to create something perfect, for God is perfection, and whoever strives after perfection is striving for something devine.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
