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
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
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 work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
Claude Monet

I have once more taken up things that can't be done: water with grasses weaving on the bottom. But I'm always tackling that sort of thing!
Claude Monet
Image
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.
Claude Monet

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. To such an extent indeed that one day, finding myself at the deathbed of a woman who had been and still was very dear to me, I caught myself in the act of focusing on her temples and automatically analyzing the succession of appropriately graded colors which death was imposing on her motionless face.
Claude Monet
Image
These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.
Claude Monet
Image
The older I become the more I realize of that I have to work very hard to reproduce what I search: the instantaneous. The influence of the atmosphere on the things and the light scattered throughout.
Claude Monet
Image
I want to paint the air in which the bridge, the house and the boat are to be found - the beauty of the air around them, and that is nothing less than the impossible.
Claude Monet
Image
One is too taken up with all that one sees and hears in Paris, however strong one is, and what I do here [in Etretat] will at least have the merit of being unlike anyone else, at least I believe so, because it will simply be the expression of what I, and only I, have felt.
Claude Monet
Image
I have made tremendous efforts to work in a darker register and express the sinister and tragic quality of the place, given my natural tendency to work in light and pale tones.
Claude Monet
Image
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
Claude Monet
Image
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
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
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
Image
I would love to do orange and lemon trees silhouetted against the blue sea, but I cannot find them the way I want them.
