More quotes by Michelangelo
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
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
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
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
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
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
Is it any wonder, since, when near the fire, I was melted and burned, if now that it's extinguished outside me, it besets and consumes me inside, and bit by bit reduces me to ashes?
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo
