More quotes by Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
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
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
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
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
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
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
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
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
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo
