Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic.
FRIDA KAHLOTake a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic.
FRIDA KAHLOWhat I wanted to express very clearly and intensely was that the reason these people had to invent or imagine heroes and gods is pure fear. Fear of life and fear of death.
FRIDA KAHLOThey thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.
FRIDA KAHLOI find that Americans completely lack sensibility and good taste. They are boring, and they all have faces like unbaked rolls.
FRIDA KAHLOMankind owns its destiny, and its destiny is the earth. We are destroying it until we have no destiny.
FRIDA KAHLOI love you more than my own skin.
FRIDA KAHLOI am happy to be alive, as long as I can paint.
FRIDA KAHLOI was a child who went about in a world of colors. My friends, my companions, became women slowly; I became old in instants.
FRIDA KAHLOI am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to better.
FRIDA KAHLOEveryone’s opinions about things change over time. Nothing is constant. Everything changes. And to hold onto some dogged idea forever is a little rigid and maybe naive.
FRIDA KAHLOI want to be inside your darkest everything.
FRIDA KAHLOAt the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.
FRIDA KAHLOI never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.
FRIDA KAHLOPain, pleasure and death are no more than a process for existence. The revolutionary struggle in this process is a doorway open to intelligence.
FRIDA KAHLOI used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do.
FRIDA KAHLOI leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.
FRIDA KAHLO
