Pablo Picasso

Action is the foundational key to all success.

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Everything you can imagine is real.

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things.

Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar.

All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

To make oneself hated is more difficult than to make oneself loved.

Is there anything more dangerous than sympathetic understanding?

Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.

We don't grow older we grow riper.

To draw you must close your eyes and sing.

The more technique you have the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is the less there is.

An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it it becomes transformed by thought.

Work is a necessity for man. Man invented the alarm clock.

Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.

Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.

I am always doing that which I cannot do in order that I may learn how to do it.
