More quotes by Michelangelo
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
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
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
It is better decoration when, in painting, some monstrosity is introduced for variety and a relaxation of the senses and to attract the attention of mortal eyes, which at times desire to see that which they have never seen.
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
Good painting is nothing else but a copy of the perfections of God and a reminder of His painting. Finally, good painting is a music and a melody which intellect only can appreciate, and with great difficulty.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
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
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
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
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.
Michelangelo
