Claude Monet Quotes

The point is to know how to use the colours, the choice of which is, when all’s said and done, a matter of habit Picture Quote #1

I haven’t yet managed to capture the colour of this landscape; there are moments when I’m appalled at the colours I’m having to use, I’m afraid what I’m doing is just dreadful and yet I really am understating it; the light is simply terrifying Picture Quote #1

I’m quite content: although what I’m doing is far from being as I should like, I am complemented often enough all the same Picture Quote #1

You might perhaps like to see the few canvases I was able to save from the bailiffs and the rest, since I thought you might be so good as to help me a little, as I am in quite a desperate state, and the worst is that I can no longer even work Picture Quote #1

By the single example of this painter devoted to his art with such independence, my destiny as a painter opened out to me Picture Quote #1

It’s enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience Picture Quote #1

I have once more taken up things that can’t be done: water with grasses weaving on the bottom. But I’m always tackling that sort of thing! Picture Quote #1

It really is appallingly difficult to do something which is complete in every respect, and I think most people are content with mere approximations. Well, my dear friend, I intend to battle on, scrape off and start again Picture Quote #1

I’m knocked out, I’ve never felt so physically and mentally exhausted, I’m quite stupid with it and long only for bed; but I am happy Picture Quote #1

I am pleased with the exhibition... everything on display was sold for a good price to decent people. It has been a long time since I believed that you could educate public taste Picture Quote #1

It would be a very bad idea... to exhibit even a small number of this new series, as the whole effect can only be achieved from an exhibition of the entire group Picture Quote #1

It is difficult to stop in time because one gets carried away. But I have that strength; it is the only strength I have Picture Quote #1

While adding the finishing touches to a painting might appear insignificant, it is much harder to do than one might suppose Picture Quote #1

I’m never finished with my paintings; the further I get, the more I seek the impossible and the more powerless I feel Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent so long on some paintings that I no longer know what to think of them, and I am definitely getting harder to please; nothing satisfies me Picture Quote #1

I’m very happy, very delighted. I’m setting to like a fighting cockerel, for I’m surrounded here by all that I love Picture Quote #1

I’ve only myself to blame for it, my impotence most of all and my weakness. If I do any good work now it will be only by chance Picture Quote #1

The creditors are proving impossible to deal with and short of a sudden appearance on the scene of wealthy art patrons, we are going to be turned out of this dear little house where I led a simple life and was able to work so well. I do not know what will become of us Picture Quote #1

What can be said about a man who is interested in nothing but his painting? It’s a pity if a man can only interest himself in one thing. But I can’t do any thing else. I have only one interest Picture Quote #1

When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can’t think any more Picture Quote #1

It’s the hardest thing to be alone in being satisfied with what one’s done Picture Quote #1

Perhaps it’s true that I’m very hard on myself, but that’s better than exhibiting mediocre work... too few were satisfactory enough to trouble the public with Picture Quote #1

I’m in a foul mood as I’m making stupid mistakes... This morning I lost beyond repair a painting with which I had been happy, having done about twenty sessions on it; it had to be thoroughly scraped away... what a rage I was in! Picture Quote #1

I let a good many mistakes show through when fixing my sensations. It will always be the same and this is what makes me despair Picture Quote #1

My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it Picture Quote #1

If only the weather would improve, there’d be hope of some work, but every day brings rain Picture Quote #1

Nature won’t be summoned to order and won’t be kept waiting. It must be caught, well caught Picture Quote #1

I think only of my painting, and if I were to drop it, I think I’d go crazy Picture Quote #1

These landscapes of water and reflections have become an obsession. It’s quite beyond my powers at my age, and yet I want to succeed in expressing what I feel Picture Quote #1

I’m enjoying the most perfect tranquillity, free from all worries, and in consequence would like to stay this way forever, in a peaceful corner of the countryside like this Picture Quote #1
