More quotes by Claude Monet
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

Claude Monet
I let a good many mistakes show through when fixing my sensations. It will always be the same and this is what makes me despair.

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.
Claude Monet
All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.
Claude Monet
I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really a continual torture.
Claude Monet
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
To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.
Claude Monet
My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
Claude Monet
Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.
Claude Monet
Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
Claude Monet
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
