"There's nothing more difficult than a line...." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“Good taste is the enemy of creativity.”

“Age only matters when one is aging. Now that I have arrived at a great age, I might as well be twenty.”

“Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?”

“I had toward the poetic art a peculiar relation which was only practical after I had cherished in my mind for a long time a subject which possessed me, a model which inspired me, a predecessor who attracted me, until at length, after I had molded it”

“Fiction is burdened for me with a sense of duty.”

“We have been able to have fine poetry in England because the public do not read it, and consequently do not influence it. The public like to insult poets because they are individual, but once they have insulted them, they leave them alone.”

“Nothing is difficult in the eyes of a lover.”

“It is as easy to count atomies as to resolve the propositions of a lover.”

“Writing is supposed to be difficult, agonizing, a dreadful exercise, a terrible occupation.”
