More quotes by 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
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
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

Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
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
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
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
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
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
Critique by creating.
