Pablo Picasso quotes about
I'd like to live like a poor man with lots of money
I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
There ought to be an absolute dictatorship... a dictatorship of painters... a dictatorship of one painter... to suppress all those who have betrayed us...
It took me a lifetime.
Without great solitude no serious work is possible.
Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized.
When I am finished painting, I paint again for relaxation.
What I find horrible nowadays is that people are always trying to find a personality for themselves. Nobody bothers about what you might call a painter's ideal... the kind that's always existed... No. They couldn't care less about that.
While I am working I am not conscious of what I am putting on the canvas.
There's no such thing as a bad Picasso, but some are less good than others.
The essential in this time of moral poverty is to create enthusiasm.
A picture lives by its legend - not by anything else.
I put in my pictures everything I like. So much the worse for the things - they have to get along with one another.
A good picture, any picture, has to be bristling with razor blades.
