"Good taste is the enemy of creativity...." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“You can go to the moon or walk under the sea, or anything else you like, but painting remains painting because it eludes such investigation. It remains there like a question. And it alone gives the answer.”

“Why assume that to look is to see?”

“An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.”

“I have lots of ideas. Trouble is, most of them suck.”

“The great poet is always a seer, seeing less with the eyes of the body than he does with the eyes of the mind.”

“None of us are as creative as all of us.”

“I read only to please myself, and enjoy only what suits my taste.”

“No one can tell me what is a good cigar - for me. I am the only judge. People who claim to know say that I smoke the worst cigars in the world. They bring their own cigars when they come to my house.”

“There may be something petty in a refined taste; it easily degenerates into effeminacy. It does not consider the broadest use. It is not content with simple good and bad, and so is fastidious and curious or nice only.”
