"To be young, really young, takes a..." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“I put in my pictures everything I like. So much the worse for the things - they have to get along with one another.”

“When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.”

“When you begin a picture you often make some pretty discoveries. You must be on guard against these. Destroy the thing, do it over several times. In each destroying of a beautiful discovery, the artist does not really suppress it, but rather condenses it, makes it more substantial. What comes out in the end is the result of discarded finds. Otherwise you become your own connoisseur.”

“If the world does improve on the whole, yet youth must always begin anew, and go through the stages of culture from the beginning.”

“Tastes in young people are changed by natural impetuosity, and in the aged are preserved by habit.”

“Make use of time, let not advantage slip;Beauty within itself should not be wasted:Fair flowers that are not gather'd in their primeRot and consume themselves in little time.”

“One spares old people just as one spares children.”

“It's an epitome of life. The first half of it consists of the capacity to enjoy without the chance; the last half consists of the chance without the capacity.”

“The vivacity that augments with years is not far from folly.”
