More quotes by Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
It is better decoration when, in painting, some monstrosity is introduced for variety and a relaxation of the senses and to attract the attention of mortal eyes, which at times desire to see that which they have never seen.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
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
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
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
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
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
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
The great tragedy of life is not that people set their sights too high and fail to achieve their goals but that they set their sights too low and do.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
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
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
