More quotes by 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
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
To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.
Michelangelo
The power of one fair face makes my love sublime, for it has weaned my heart from low desires.
Michelangelo
I created a vision of David in my mind and simply carved away everything that was not David.
Michelangelo
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Michelangelo
Perchance that I might learn what pity is, That I might laugh at erring men no more.
Michelangelo
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
Michelangelo
If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
Michelangelo
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
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 dare affirm that any artist... who has nothing singular, eccentric, or at least reputed to be so, in his person, will never become a superior talent.
Michelangelo
Draw, Antonio draw, Antonio draw and don’t waste time.
Michelangelo
The idea is there locked inside. All you have to do is remove the excess stone.
Michelangelo
Patience is eternal genius
Michelangelo
I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
Michelangelo
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed.
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
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
