Claude Monet
Image
I'm continuing to work hard, not without periods of discouragement, but my strength comes back again.
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

Claude Monet
Image
I'm quite content: although what I'm doing is far from being as I should like, I am complemented often enough all the same.
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
Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.
Claude Monet
Image
I insist upon 'doing it alone'... I have always worked better alone and from my own impressions.
Claude Monet
Image
No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself to finish paintings which do not satisfy me and seem to please so very few others.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm enjoying the most perfect tranquillity, free from all worries, and in consequence would like to stay this way forever, in a peaceful corner of the countryside like this.
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 only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
Claude Monet

Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
