Quotes by Michelangelo
- The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.
- The best of artists has no conception that the marble alone does not contain within itself.
- 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.
- The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
- Till now I have never shot a scene without taking account of what stands behind the actors because the relationship between people and their surroundings is of prime importance.
- Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
