When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.
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
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
Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
Claude Monet
