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
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
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
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
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
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
So take care of your life and take notice and be observant, for the number of widows is always far greater than the number of widowers.
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover 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
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
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
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
