More quotes by Marc Chagall
Mozart never composed anything, ever! He copied what was written on his soul.
Marc Chagall
I am working in Paris . I cannot for a single day get the thought out of my head that there probably exists something essential, some immutable reality, and now that I have lost everything else (thank God, it gets lost all on its own) I am trying to preserve this and, what is more, not to be content. In a word: I am working.
Marc Chagall
I've always painted pictures in which human love floods my colors.
Marc Chagall
Color is everything. When color is right, form is right.
Marc Chagall
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.
Marc Chagall
Work isn't to make money you work to justify life.
Marc Chagall
Despite all the troubles of our world, in my heart I have never given up on the love in which I was brought up or on man's hope in love. In life, just as on the artist's palette, there is but one single colour that gives meaning to life and art–the colour of love
Marc Chagall
Changes in societal structure and in art would possess more credibility if they had their origins in the soul and spirit. If people read the words of the prophets with closer attention, they would find the keys to life.
Marc Chagall
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
Marc Chagall
In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.
Marc Chagall
All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.
Marc Chagall
Everything in art must spring from the movement of our whole life-stream, of our whole being - including the unconscious.
Marc Chagall
In my youth, poverty enriched me, but now I can afford wealth.
Marc Chagall
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.
Marc Chagall
If all life moves inevitably towards its end, then we must, during our own, colour it with our colours of love and hope.
Marc Chagall
I adore the theater and I am a painter. I think the two are made for a marriage of love. I will give all my soul to prove this once more.
Marc Chagall
Color is vibration like music everything is vibration.
Marc Chagall
If I create with my heart almost all my intentions remain. If it is with the head - almost nothing. An artist must not fear to be himself, to express only himself. If he is absolutely and entirely sincere, what he says and does will be acceptable to others.
Marc Chagall
One must always be careful not to let one's work be covered with moss.
Marc Chagall
Can my words distill for you a little sweetness, tender and caressing?
Marc Chagall
