"Art is not truth; art is the..." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“It's not what the artist does that counts; it's what he is.”

“That inspiration comes, does not depend on me. The only thing I can do is make sure it catches me working.”

“When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.”

“Without the great arts which speak to the sense of beauty, a man seems to me a poor, naked, shivering creature. These are his becoming draperies, which warm and adorn him.”

“My most important problem was destroying the lines of demarcation that separate what seems real from what seems fantastic.”

“What's [the Beatles'] I Am the Walrus all about?”

“Much of the wisdom of the world is not wisdom, and the most illuminated class of men are no doubt superior to literary fame, and are not writers.”

“It is art, and art only, that reveals us to ourselves.”

“And another thing. Don’t ever kid yourself about loving some one. It is just that most people are not lucky enough ever to have it. You never had it before and now you have it. What you have with Maria, whether it lasts just through today and a part of tomorrow, or whether it lasts for a long life is the most important thing that can happen to a human being. There will always be people who say it does not exist because they cannot have it. But I tell you it is true and that you have it and that you are lucky even if you die tomorrow.”
