Image
My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
Image
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.

Image
I know well enough in advance that you'll find my paintings perfect. I know that if they are exhibited they'll be a great success, but I couldn't be more indifferent to it since I know they are bad, I'm certain of it.

Image
If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!
Claude Monet

Claude Monet
Image
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
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
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
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
Image
I'm continuing to work hard, not without periods of discouragement, but my strength comes back again.
Claude Monet
Image
My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it.
Claude Monet
Image
Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.
Claude Monet
Image
I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.
Claude Monet
Image
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.
