More quotes by Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
Is it any wonder, since, when near the fire, I was melted and burned, if now that it's extinguished outside me, it besets and consumes me inside, and bit by bit reduces me to ashes?
Michelangelo
Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!
Michelangelo
The goods of Fortune, even such as they really are, still need taste to enjoy them. It is the enjoying no the possessing, that makes us happy.
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
Michelangelo
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
Serene I fold my hands and wait.
Michelangelo
So now, from this mad passion Which made me take art for an idol and a king I have learnt the burden of error that it bore And what misfortune springs from man's desire... The world's frivolities have robbed me of the time That I was given for reflecting upon God.
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
I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint.
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
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
