What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well.

More quotes by Claude Monet
I still have a lot of pleasure doing them, but as time goes by I come to appreciate more clearly which paintings are good and which should be discarded.
Claude Monet
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
Claude Monet
I'm knocked out, I've never felt so physically and mentally exhausted, I'm quite stupid with it and long only for bed but I am happy.
Claude Monet
It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.
Claude Monet
I've been working so hard that I'm exhausted... I feel I won't be able to do without a few weeks' rest, so I'm going off to see the sea.
Claude Monet
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
Claude Monet
What can be said about a man who is interested in nothing but his painting? It's a pity if a man can only interest himself in one thing. But I can't do any thing else. I have only one interest.
Claude Monet
Impressionism is only direct sensation. All great painters were less or more impressionists. It is mainly a question of instinct, and much simpler than [John Singer] Sargent thinks.
Claude Monet
I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.
Claude Monet
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
Claude Monet
Despite my exhaustion I have a devil of a time getting to sleep because of the rats above my bed and a pig who lives beneath my room.
Claude Monet
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.
Claude Monet
I'm getting so slow at my work it makes me despair, but... I'm increasingly obsessed by the need to render what I experience, and I'm praying that I'll have a few more good years left to me.
Claude Monet
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.
Claude Monet
It goes without saying that I will do anything at any price to pull myself out of a situation like this [rejection] so that I can start work immediately on my next Salon picture and ensure that such a thing should not happen again.
Claude Monet
It seems to me that when I see nature I see it ready-made, completely written - but then, try to do it!
Claude Monet
My rejection at the Salon brought an end to my hesitation [to settle in Paris] since after this failure I can no longer claim to cope... alas, that fatal rejection has virtually taken the bread out of my mouth.
Claude Monet
Listening only to my instincts, I discovered superb things.
Claude Monet
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
Claude Monet
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
Claude Monet
