Kathe Kollwitz Quotes

I thought I was a revolutionary and was only an evolutionary Picture Quote #1

I have received a commission to make a poster against war. That is a task that makes me happy. Some may say a thousand times that this is not pure art.... but as long as I can work, I want to be effective with my art Picture Quote #1

Old ideas die hard. We’ve had thousands of years of women having almost no rights. Parts of the world are in a struggle toward very basic human rights for women, and most of the world isn’t even there yet. And it’s going to take a long time to change these attitudes Picture Quote #1

My work is not, of course, pure art in the sense that Schmidt-Rottluff’s is, but it is art nonetheless... It is all right with me that my work serves a purpose. I want to have an effect on my time, in which human beings are so confused and in need of help Picture Quote #1

Genius can probably run on ahead and seek out new ways. But the good artists who follow after genius - and I count myself among these - have to restore the lost connection once more Picture Quote #1

Pacifism simply is not a matter of calm looking on; it is hard work Picture Quote #1

I was put in this world to change it Picture Quote #1

Growing old is partly an inescapable process of accommodation and adjustment Picture Quote #1

Men without joy seem like corpses Picture Quote #1

Look at life with the eyes of a child Picture Quote #1

Pacifism simply is not a matter of calm looking on; it is work, hard work Picture Quote #1

The development of the national spirit in its present form leads into blind alleys. Some condition must be found which preserves the life of the nation, but rules out the fatal rivalry among nations Picture Quote #1

I do not want to die... until I have faithfully made the most of my talent and cultivated the seed that was placed in me, until the last small twig has grown Picture Quote #1

While I drew, and wept along with the terrified children I was drawing, I really felt the burden I am bearing. I felt that I have no right to withdraw from the responsibility of being an advocate Picture Quote #1

I am gradually approaching the period in my life when work comes first... No longer diverted by other emotions, I work the way a cow grazes Picture Quote #1

Where do all the women who have watched so carefully over the lives of their beloved ones get the heroism to send them to face the cannon? Picture Quote #1

I felt that I have no right to withdraw from the responsibility of being an advocate. It is my duty to voice the sufferings of people, the sufferings that never end and are as big as mountains Picture Quote #1

I want to cultivate the seed that was placed in me until the last small twig has grown Picture Quote #1

If all the people who have been hurt by the war were to exclude joy from their lives, it would almost be as if they had died Picture Quote #1

I can always paint very well with my eyes, but with my hands it doesn’t always work out Picture Quote #1

There are moments on most days when I feel a deep and sincere gratitude, when I sit at the open window, and there is a blue sky or moving clouds Picture Quote #1

Bisexuality is almost a necessary factor in artistic production; at any rate, the tinge of masculinity within me helped me in my work Picture Quote #1

To this day I do not know whether the power which has inspired my works is something related to religion, or is indeed religion itself Picture Quote #1

Culture arises only when the individual fulfills his cycle of obligations. If everyone recognizes and fulfills his cycle of obligations, genuineness emerges. The culture of a whole nation can in the final analysis be built upon nothing else Picture Quote #1

How long were the stretches of toilsome tacking back and forth, of being blocked, of being thrown back again and again. But all that was annulled by the periods when I had my technique in hand and succeeded in doing what I wanted Picture Quote #1

One day, a new ideal will arise, and there will be an end to all wars. I die convinced of this. It will need much hard work, but it will be achieved? The important thing, until that happens, is to hold one’s banner high and to struggle? Without struggle there is no life Picture Quote #1

Every war carries within it the war which will answer it. Every war is answered by a new war, until everything, everything is smashed Picture Quote #1
