More quotes by Michelangelo
I dare affirm that any artist... who has nothing singular, eccentric, or at least reputed to be so, in his person, will never become a superior talent.
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
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
Painting and sculpture, labour and good faith, have been my ruin and I continually go from bad to worse. Better it would have been for me if I had set myself to making matches in my youth. I should not be in such distress of mind.
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
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
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
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
Your gifts lie in the place where your values, passions and strengths meet. Discovering that place is the first step toward sculpting your masterpiece, Your Life.
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
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
