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.

More quotes by Claude Monet
I'm very happy, very delighted. I'm setting to like a fighting cockerel, for I'm surrounded here by all that I love.
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 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
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.
Claude Monet
Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
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
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
Claude Monet
I sometimes feel ashamed that I am devoting myself to artistic pursuits while so many of our people are suffering and dying for us. It's true that fretting never did any good.
Claude Monet
I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really a continual torture.
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
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
Claude Monet
It was at home I learned the little I know. Schools always appeared to me like a prison, and never could I make up my mind to stay there, not even for four hours a day, when the sunshine was inviting, the sea smooth, and when it was joy to run about the cliffs in the free air, or to paddle in the water.
Claude Monet
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
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
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
I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.
Claude Monet
My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
My only desire is an intimate infusion with nature, and the only fate I wish is to have worked and lived in harmony with her laws.
Claude Monet
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
Claude Monet
