Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
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
If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!
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.
Claude Monet
Image
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
Claude Monet
Image
I am pleased with the exhibition... everything on display was sold for a good price to decent people. It has been a long time since I believed that you could educate public taste.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
Image
Work is nearly always a torture. If I could find something else I would be much happier, because I could use this other interest as a form of relaxation. Now I cannot relax.
Claude Monet
Image
Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
Claude Monet
Image
I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.
Claude Monet
Image
What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well.
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'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.
Claude Monet
Image
I've spent so long on some paintings that I no longer know what to think of them, and I am definitely getting harder to please nothing satisfies me.
Claude Monet
Image
I see less and less... I need to avoid lateral light, which darkens my colors. Nevertheless, I always paint at the times of day most propitious for me, as long as my paint tubes and brushes are not mixed up... I will paint almost blind, as Beethoven composed completely deaf.
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
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
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
Claude Monet
