More quotes by Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
Michelangelo
If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
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 serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
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
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
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
I am still learning. (at age 87)
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
