More quotes by Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
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
The greatest artist has no conception which a single block of white marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand obedient to the mind can penetrate to this image.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
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
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
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
A good artist ought never to allow impatience to overcome his sense of the main end of art - perfection
Michelangelo
Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
So take care of your life and take notice and be observant, for the number of widows is always far greater than the number of widowers.
Michelangelo
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
