More quotes by 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
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
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
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
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
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
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
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
The greatest artist has no conception which a single block of white marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand obedient to the mind can penetrate to this image.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
