Pablo Picasso quotes about
Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.
There's nothing so similar to one poodle dog as another poodle dog, and that goes for women, too.
It took me a lifetime.

To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.
The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.
It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words! The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them.
Unless your work gives you trouble, it is no good.
What I want is that my picture should evoke nothing but emotion.
If it's good, it's mine. If it's bad, it's a fake.
When the individuality of the artist begins to express itself, what the artist gains in the way of liberty he loses in the way of order.
Without great solitude no serious work is possible.
