More quotes by Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
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
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
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
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
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
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 serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
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
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
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
