More quotes by Claude Monet
I would love to do orange and lemon trees silhouetted against the blue sea, but I cannot find them the way I want them.
Claude Monet
I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.
Claude Monet
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
Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.
Claude Monet
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
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
It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.
Claude Monet
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
It's enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience.
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
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
What is it that's taken hold of me, for me to carry on like this in relentless pursuit of something beyond my powers?
Claude Monet
One day Boudin said to me, 'Learn to draw well and appreciate the sea, the light, the blue sky.' I took his advice.
Claude Monet
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
Claude Monet
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
Claude Monet
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
Claude Monet
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
Claude Monet
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
All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.
Claude Monet
