More quotes by 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
Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
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 saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
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
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
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
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
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
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
If the wine is not good, then throw it out!
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
