More quotes by 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
Nature did all things well
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
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
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
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
In my opinion painting should be considered excellent in proportion as it approaches the effect of relief, while relief should be considered bad in proportion as it approaches the effect of painting.
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
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
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
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
