More quotes by Michelangelo
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
To touch is to give life.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
Love is a beautiful image Imagined or seen within the heart, The friend of virtue and gentility.
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
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 good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
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
And who is so barbarous as not to understand that the foot of a man is nobler than his shoe, and his skin nobler than that of the sheep with which he is clothed.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
Critique by creating.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
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
Whenever a great painter... does a work which appears to be false and lying, that falsity is very true.
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
The mind, the soul, becomes ennobled by the endeavour to create something perfect, for God is perfection, and whoever strives after perfection is striving for something devine.
Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
