You could wonder for hours what flowers mean, but for me, they're life itself, in all its happy brilliance. We couldn't do with out flowers. Flowers help you forget life's tragedies.

More quotes by Marc Chagall
The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.
Marc Chagall
All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.
Marc Chagall
If a symbol should be discovered in a painting of mine, it was not my intention. It is a result I did not seek. It is something that may be found afterwards, and which can be interpreted according to taste.
Marc Chagall
Mozart never composed anything, ever! He copied what was written on his soul.
Marc Chagall
I've always painted pictures in which human love floods my colors.
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
One must always be careful not to let one's work be covered with moss.
Marc Chagall
To call everything that appears illogical, fantasy, fairy tale, or chimera would be practically to admit not understanding nature.
Marc Chagall
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.
Marc Chagall
On cannot be precise, and still be true.
Marc Chagall
My mother's love for me was so great I have worked hard to justify it.
Marc Chagall
In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.
Marc Chagall
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.
Marc Chagall
Mine alone is the country of my soul.
Marc Chagall
Art is foremost a state of mind, and only secondarily a problem of form.
Marc Chagall
The most authentic Russian Impressionism leaves one perplexed if one compares it with Monet and Pissarro. Here, in the Louvre, before the canvases of Manet, Millet and others, I understood why my alliance with Russia and Russian art did not take root.
Marc Chagall
The habit of ignoring Nature is deeply implanted in our times. This attitude reminds me of people who never look you in the eye I find them disturbing and always have to look away.
Marc Chagall
What I mean by 'abstract' is something which comes to life spontaneously through a gamut of contrasts, plastic at the same time as psychic, and pervades both the picture and the eye of the spectator with conceptions of new and unfamiliar elements.
Marc Chagall
If I weren't a Jew then I wouldn't be an artist, or at least not the one I am now.
Marc Chagall
