More quotes by Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
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
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
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
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
Even if you are divine, you don't disdain male consorts.
Michelangelo
No thought is born in me that does not bear the image of death.
Michelangelo
Beauty depends on purpose. It is in the elements best suited to their purpose or aim that beauty shines forth most strongly.
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
Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Nature did all things well
Michelangelo
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
In my opinion painting should be considered excellent in proportion as it approaches the effect of relief, while relief should be considered bad in proportion as it approaches the effect of painting.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
Your gifts lie in the place where your values, passions and strengths meet. Discovering that place is the first step toward sculpting your masterpiece, Your Life.
Michelangelo
Poets and painters have the power to dare, I mean to dare to do whatever they may approve of.
Michelangelo
