Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.

Claude Monet

My life has been nothing but a failure.
CLAUDE MONET

Failure Life Myself
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can’t think any more.
CLAUDE MONET

Darkness Death Myself Thinking
Nature won’t be summoned to order and won’t be kept waiting. It must be caught, well caught.
CLAUDE MONET

Catch Nature Order
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
CLAUDE MONET

When I work I forget all the rest.
CLAUDE MONET

Forget Myself Paint Understand Work
I’ve done what I could as a painter and that seems to me to be sufficient. I don’t want to be compared to the great masters of the past, and my painting is open to criticism; that’s enough.
CLAUDE MONET

Perhaps it’s true that I’m very hard on myself, but that’s better than exhibiting mediocre work… too few were satisfactory enough to trouble the public with.
CLAUDE MONET

Take clear water with grass waving at the bottom. It’s wonderful to look at, but to try to paint it is enough to make one insane.

The more I live, the more I regret how little i know.
CLAUDE MONET

Live Myself Regret
I’m working hard with more determination than ever. My success at the Salon led to my selling several paintings and since your absence I have made 800 francs; I hope, when I have contracts with more dealers, it will be better still.
CLAUDE MONET

The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
