Pablo Picasso

All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

What might be taken for a precocious genius is the genius of childhood. When the child grows up, it disappears without a trace. It may happen that this boy will become a real painter some day, or even a great painter. But then he will have to begin everything again, from zero.

Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.

Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?

Youth has no age.

It takes a long time to become young.

Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.

When you start with a portrait and search for a pure form, a clear volume, through successive eliminations, you arrive inevitably at the egg. Likewise, starting with the egg and following the same process in reverse, one finishes with the portrait.

The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.

Work is a necessity for man. Man invented the alarm clock.

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
