More quotes by Michelangelo
No one has mastery, Before he is at the end, Of his art and his life.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
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
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
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
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
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
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
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
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
