More quotes by Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
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
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
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
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
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
I am still learning. (at age 87)
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 have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
