I'm very happy, very delighted. I'm setting to like a fighting cockerel, for I'm surrounded here by all that I love.

Image
For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject.
Claude Monet
Image
What can be said about a man who is interested in nothing but his painting? It's a pity if a man can only interest himself in one thing. But I can't do any thing else. I have only one interest.
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
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 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
I am enslaved to my work, always wanting the impossible, and never, I believe, have I been less favoured by the endlessly changeable weather.
Claude Monet
Image
My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
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 work at my garden all the time and with love. What I need most are flowers, always. My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
Image
To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.
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
My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
Image
I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that's the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible.
Claude Monet
Image
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
Claude Monet
Image
I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even.
Claude Monet
Image
Getting up at 4 in the morning, I slave away all day until by the evening I'm exhausted, and I end by forgetting all my responsibilities, thinking only of the work I've set out to do.
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
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
My life has been nothing but a failure.
Claude Monet

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