More quotes by Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
It is not sufficient merely to be a great master in painting and very wise, but I think that it is necessary for the painter to be very moral in his mode of life, or even, if such were possible, a saint, so that the Holy Spirit may inspire his intellect.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
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
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
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
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
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 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 power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
In my opinion painting should be considered excellent in proportion as it approaches the effect of relief, while relief should be considered bad in proportion as it approaches the effect of painting.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
