"Unless your work gives you trouble, it..." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“One must act in painting as in life, directly.”

“I go for a walk in the forest of Fontainebleau. I get 'green' indigestion. I must get rid of this sensation into a picture. Green rules it. A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.”

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

“I enjoy my work so much that I have to be pulled away from my work into leisure.”

“You work that you may keep peace with the earth and the soul of the earth.”

“Do not be afraid of a small beginning. great things come afterwards. Be courageous. Do not try to lead your brethren, but serve them. The brutal mania for leading has sunk many a great ships in the waters of life. Take care especially of that, i.e. be unselfish even unto death, and work.”

“Having been a chef for some many years, I understand what it's like to work really, really hard to get good at something, only to have someone piss all over it.”

“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Every job is a self portrait of the person who did it ... Autograph your work with excellence.”

“It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.”
