"The people no longer seek consolation in..." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.”

“And fame, for a painter means sales, gains, fortune, riches. And today, as you know, I am celebrated. I am rich.”

“Is there anything more dangerous than sympathetic understanding?”

“I find him in the curves of certain lines, in the loveliness and subtleties of certain colours.”

“In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.”

“You make a movie, and if somebody reads something into it, then great, more power to him.”

“There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them.”

“That beautiful mild woman for whose sake There's many a one shall find out all heartache On finding that her voice is sweet and low Replied, 'To be born a woman is to know- Although they do not talk of it at school - That we must labor to be beautiful.”

“Dont teach my boy poetry, an English mother recently wrote the Provost of Harrow. Dont teach my boy poetry; he is going to stand for Parliament. Well, perhaps she was rightbut if more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place to live on this Commencement Day of 1956.”
