More quotes by Michelangelo
The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.
Michelangelo
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo
I serve for the love of God and in Him have all my hope.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value 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
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
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
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
There is an angel imprisoned in it and I must set it free.
Michelangelo
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo
Your greatness is measured by your horizons.
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
A good sculpture can be rolled downhill without breaking.
Michelangelo
If there is some good in me, it is because I was born in the subtle atmosphere of your country of Arezzo. Along with the milk of my nurse I received the knack of handling chisel and hammer, with which I make my figures.
Michelangelo
Sculpture is made by taking away, while painting is made by adding.
Michelangelo
