More quotes by Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo

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 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
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
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
