Every child is an artist.
The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso
If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it,
it's your world for the moment.
I want to give that world to someone else.
Most people in the city rush around so,
they have no time to look at a flower.
I want them to see it whether they want to or not.
Georgia O'Keeffe
What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work,
is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that
what has already been said is still not enough.
Eugene Delacroix
The artist should never try to be popular.
Rather the public should be more artistic.
Oscar Wilde
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
Henry David Thoreau
I am an artist who, for forty years
Has stood at the lake edge
Throwing stones in the lake,
Sometimes, very faintly,
I hear a splash.
Maxwell Bates
I criticise these compositions by analysis
but an illustration cannot be made that way –
it must be made by inspiration.
Howard Pyle
My mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general;
if you become a monk, you'll end up as the pope.'
Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.
Pablo Picasso
