Как по-английски звучит знаменитая фраза Микеланджело? (внутри)

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”
Michelangelo quote

I take a block of marble and cut off from it all too much
где то примерно так

Я вам всё перевел на английский:
At one time long ago, Mikelandzhelo, have assigned the question: what image you create such sculptures? The Answer was striking: I simply take away all spare .

There is different variants: I take the stone and cut off all spare .
I take the stone and cut off all spare .
I take глыбу marble and cut off from it all spare .

Most certainly in english there is settled variant of this quoting.

As she sounds?

Thank you!

Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop. http : // www .allgreatquotes.com/michelangelo_quotes.shtml

Микеланджело одну и ту же мысль передавал в огромном количестве вариаций
по-моему самый интересный - вариант 2

Есть различные варианты перевода этой фразы:

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”

“In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.”

“Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it”

“The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has”

Из вариантов, предложенных юзером A Fascinating Woman, есть очень удачные, а есть несколько glib (многословные) . Предложу два наиболее часто цитируемые в англоязычной литературе варианта:

The sculpture is already there in the raw stone; the task of a good sculptor is merely to eliminate the unnecessary parts of the stone.

I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free.

Кстати, все эти цитаты только приписывают Микеланджело (are attributed to Michelangelo). Отсюда и вариации...
