The fingerprints of the god who amused himself fashioning them - I can see them on any bone whatsoever.

Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.

I am always making that what I am not capable, in an attempt to learn how to doing it.

In one way or another, I always marked my pictures. But there were times when I put my signature on the back of the canvas. All my works from the cubist period, until about 1914, have my name and the date on the back side of the stretcher. I know someone spread the story that in Céret, Braque and I decided not to sign our pictures anymore. But that's just a legend!

He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.

The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous.

Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.
