My heart is forever in Giverny.

I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.

The Thames was all gold. God it was beautiful, so fine that I began working a frenzy, following the sun and its reflections on the water.

It is only too easy to catch people's attention by doing something worse than anyone else has dared to do it before.

I didn't become an impressionist. As long as I can remember I always have been one.

I work at my garden all the time and with love. What I need most are flowers, always. My heart is forever in Giverny.

Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.
