"Art is lies that tell the truth...." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!”

“In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.”

“People who read are people who dream.”

“The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is also the return of art to life.”

“Words are always getting conventionalized to some secondary meaning. It is one of the works of poetry to take the truants in custody and bring them back to their right senses.”

“I don't feel that I'm explaining the world or teaching people anything. And I'm not trying to be a mirror, showing them what's really going on the world. All I'm trying to do is think of stuff that's funny, just like when I'm kidding around with my friends.”

“A small lie needs a bodyguard of bigger lies to protect it.”

“In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.”

“Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."”
