Despite my extremely modest prices, dealers and art lovers are turning their backs on me. It is very depressing to see the lack of interest shown in an art object which has no market value.

My heart is forever in Giverny.

I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.

Apart from painting and gardening, I'm not good at anything.

Everything changes, even stone.

My only desire is an intimate infusion with nature, and the only fate I wish is to have worked and lived in harmony with her laws.

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.
