Pablo Picasso

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."

"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web."

"We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies."

"Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth."

"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary."

"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."

"We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand."

"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it."

"Love is the greatest refreshment in life."

"There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality."

"Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun."

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."

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

"The people who make art their business are mostly imposters."

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."

"It takes a very long time to become young."

"It takes a very long time to become young."

"Action is the foundational key to all success."

"Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success."

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