I Am Quotes

My worst day is still a really good day. I complain, but I catch myself and count my blessings. I am truly blessed Picture Quote #1

I am young in my energy because I really still believe that we can share who we are, and we can wipe off on each other. I see this huge tapestry when we’re born, and this red blob that’s your soul or your heart Picture Quote #1

I know that in many things I am not like others, but I do not know what I really am like. Man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. I am a man. But what is it to be that? Like every other being, I am a splinter of the infinite deity, but I cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. Only a mythical being has a range greater than man’s. How then can man form any definite opinions about himself? Picture Quote #1

By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time Picture Quote #1

I don’t know in advance what I am going to put on canvas any more than I decide beforehand what colours I am going to use Picture Quote #1

While I am working I am not conscious of what I am putting on the canvas Picture Quote #1

Come what may, I am bound to think that all things are ordered for the best; though when the good is a furlong off, and we with our beetle eyes can only see three inches, it takes some confidence in general principles to pull us through Picture Quote #1

What use is my mind? Granted that it enables me to hail a bus and to pay my fare. But once I am inside my studio, what use is my mind? I have my model, my pencil, my paints. My mind doesn’t interest me Picture Quote #1

I am increasingly an architect of self. I am free to will and choose. I can, through accepting my individuality... become more of my uniqueness, more of my potentiality Picture Quote #1

I’m quite content: although what I’m doing is far from being as I should like, I am complemented often enough all the same Picture Quote #1

You might perhaps like to see the few canvases I was able to save from the bailiffs and the rest, since I thought you might be so good as to help me a little, as I am in quite a desperate state, and the worst is that I can no longer even work Picture Quote #1

I’m knocked out, I’ve never felt so physically and mentally exhausted, I’m quite stupid with it and long only for bed; but I am happy Picture Quote #1

I am pleased with the exhibition... everything on display was sold for a good price to decent people. It has been a long time since I believed that you could educate public taste Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent so long on some paintings that I no longer know what to think of them, and I am definitely getting harder to please; nothing satisfies me Picture Quote #1

I sometimes feel ashamed that I am devoting myself to artistic pursuits while so many of our people are suffering and dying for us. It’s true that fretting never did any good Picture Quote #1

I am the first to be surprised and often terrified by the images that I see appear on my canvas Picture Quote #1

I am progressing very slowly, for nature reveals herself to me in very complex forms; and the progress needed is incessant Picture Quote #1

I am beginning to consider myself stronger than all those around me, and you know that the good opinion I have of myself has only been reached after mature consideration Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

Under this fine rain I breathe in the innocence of the world. I feel coloured by the nuances of infinity. At this moment I am one with my picture. We are an iridescent chaos Picture Quote #1

I am still searching for the expression of those confused sensations that we bring with us at birth Picture Quote #1

I’m not videotaping my life, but in a way I am trying to put certain things about myself on canvas Picture Quote #1

What have we done to our images? What have we done to our embarrassed landscapes? I have said this before and will repeat it again as long as I am able to talk: if we do not develop adequate images we will die out like dinosaurs Picture Quote #1

What I am looking for is a masterpiece. I don’t want to waste my time. I am tired of experiments Picture Quote #1

The feminists took me as a role model, as a mother. It bothers me. I am not interested in being a mother. I am still a girl trying to understand myself Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

What I am seeking... is a motionless movement, something equivalent to what is called the eloquence of silence Picture Quote #1

I work like a labourer on a farm or in a vineyard. Things come to me slowly. My vocabulary of forms, for instance, has not been the discovery of a day. It took shape in spite of myself... That is why I am always working on a hundred different things at the same time Picture Quote #1

I am simply unable to understand the value placed by so many people upon great wealth Picture Quote #1

I have been governor every now and then, but I am a forester all the time Picture Quote #1

Even when I am gone, I shall remain in people’s minds the star of their rights, my name will be the war cry of their efforts, the motto of their hopes Picture Quote #1

There is certainly no single remedy for this condition and I am offering no panacea. But it seems reasonable to believe - and I do believe - that the more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us the less taste we shall have for the destruction of our race. Wonder and humility are wholesome emotions, and they do not exist side by side with a lust for destruction Picture Quote #1
