More quotes by Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
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
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
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
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
Michelangelo
If I am more alive because love burns and chars me, as a fire, given wood or wind, feels new elation, it's that he who lays me low is my salvation, and invigorates the more, the more he scars me.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
