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.

More quotes by Marc Chagall
Art is foremost a state of mind, and only secondarily a problem of form.
Marc Chagall
When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.
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
To call everything that appears illogical, fantasy, fairy tale, or chimera would be practically to admit not understanding nature.
Marc Chagall
Color is vibration like music everything is vibration.
Marc Chagall
The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.
Marc Chagall
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.
Marc Chagall
In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.
Marc Chagall
Mine alone is the country of my soul.
Marc Chagall
Color is everything. When color is right, form is right.
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 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
Mozart never composed anything, ever! He copied what was written on his soul.
Marc Chagall
My mother's love for me was so great I have worked hard to justify it.
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
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.
Marc Chagall
Everything in art must spring from the movement of our whole life-stream, of our whole being - including the unconscious.
Marc Chagall
Color is all. When color is right, form is right. Color is everything, color is vibration like music everything is vibration.
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
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
