When I go out into the countryside and see the sun and the green and everything flowering, I say to myself "Yes indeed, all that belongs to me!"

It is not I that am drawing, it is this thing at the end of my hand.

The severity of penalties is only a vain resource, invented by little minds in order to substitute terror for that respect which they have no means of obtaining.

We are the two great painters of this era; you are in the Egyptian style, I in themodern style. (to Pablo Picasso)
