“So little of what could happen does happen.”

Picasso is a painter, so am I; Picasso is Spanish, so am I; Picasso is a communist, neither am I.

It is either easy or impossible.

I am a contradictory and paradoxical man.

The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents.

If you understand your painting beforehand, you might as well not paint it.

My art is capable of liberating man from the tyranny of the practical, rational world.

The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.

There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.

I want to perceive and understand the hidden powers and laws of things, in order to have them in my power.

To be interesting, one has to provoke.

I’m going to live forever. Geniuses don’t die.

The terrifying and edible beauty of Art Nouveau architecture.

You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life

The fact I myself do not understand what my paintings mean while I am painting them does not imply that they are meaningless.

I am making things that inspire me with a profound emotion and I am trying to paint them honestly.

I am the Don Quixote of unreality.

Focus on your goals and dreams. Do the things that you can do. Things will happen that you can’t anticipate.

You must see it. You must believe it. And then you must never stop working to make it happen.

So learn about life. Cut yourself a big slice with the silver server, a big slice of pie. Open your eyes. Let life happen.

Let’s go invent tomorrow instead of worrying about what happened yesterday.

Once in your life, try something. Work hard at something. Try to change. Nothing bad can happen.

Today I woke up and I wonder: What’s happening into the sea?

When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it; you can either accept it or resent it.

It doesn’t matter what your dream is, you can make it happen!
