"Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's..." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“I hate that aesthetic game of the eye and the mind, played by these connoisseurs, these mandarins who "appreciate" beauty. What is beauty, anyway? There's no such thing. I never "appreciate," any more than I "like." I love it or I hate.”

“To make oneself hated is more difficult than to make oneself loved.”

“I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.”

“It's pointless to be critical of your stuff once it's done. I don't spend a lot of time agonising over it. It's of no importance once it's finished.”

“Every artist paints his Madonna according to his own pre-conceived ideas.”

“Men admire the man who can organize their wishes and thoughts in stone and wood and steel and brass.”

“The Artist always has the masters in his eyes.”

“Unless we do more than simply learn the trade of our time, we are but apprentices, and not yet masters of the art of life.”

“A good speaker does not stutter.”
