Claude Monet
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
Claude Monet
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet
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

Claude Monet
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.

Claude Monet

Claude Monet
I'm knocked out, I've never felt so physically and mentally exhausted, I'm quite stupid with it and long only for bed but I am happy.
Claude Monet
I'm getting so slow at my work it makes me despair, but... I'm increasingly obsessed by the need to render what I experience, and I'm praying that I'll have a few more good years left to me.
Claude Monet
I'm quite content: although what I'm doing is far from being as I should like, I am complemented often enough all the same.
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
What I need most of all is color, always, always.
Claude Monet
I had so much fire in me and so many plans.
Claude Monet
