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
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
And who is so barbarous as not to understand that the foot of a man is nobler than his shoe, and his skin nobler than that of the sheep with which he is clothed.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
So now, from this mad passion Which made me take art for an idol and a king I have learnt the burden of error that it bore And what misfortune springs from man's desire... The world's frivolities have robbed me of the time That I was given for reflecting upon God.
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
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
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 beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
