More quotes by Claude Monet

Image
Perhaps it's true that I'm very hard on myself, but that's better than exhibiting mediocre work... too few were satisfactory enough to trouble the public with.
Claude Monet
Image
No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet.
Claude Monet
Image
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.
Claude Monet
Image
My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
I've done what I could as a painter and that seems to me to be sufficient. I don't want to be compared to the great masters of the past, and my painting is open to criticism that's enough.
Claude Monet
Image
I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that's the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible.
Claude Monet
Image
I had so much fire in me and so many plans.
Claude Monet
Image
All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
I haven't many years left ahead of me and I must devote all my time to painting, in the hope of achieving something worthwhile in the end, something if possible that will satisfy me.
Claude Monet
Image
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
Claude Monet
Image
I do have a dream, a tableau of the bathing place of La Grenouillère, for which I've done some bad pochades (sketches), but it is a dream. Renoir, who have just spent a couple of months here, also wants to paint this subject.
Claude Monet
Image
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
When I work I forget all the rest.
Claude Monet
Image
My aim is to give you only the things with which I am completely satisfied, even if it means asking you a little more [time] for them... for if I were to do otherwise I'd turn into a mere painting machine and you would be landed with a pile of incomplete work which would put off the most enthusiastic of art collectors.

It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
