More quotes by Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
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
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
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
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
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
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
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
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
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
Michelangelo
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
Michelangelo
