More quotes by Michelangelo

Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.

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

Michelangelo
I sometimes set myself thinking and imagining that I find amongst men but one single art or science, and that is drawing or painting, all others being members proceeding therefrom.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
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
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
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
