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.

More quotes by Marc Chagall
The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.
Marc Chagall
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.
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
All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.
Marc Chagall
Color is everything. When color is right, form is right.
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
On cannot be precise, and still be true.
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
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.
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
If I weren't a Jew then I wouldn't be an artist, or at least not the one I am now.
Marc Chagall
My mother's love for me was so great I have worked hard to justify it.
Marc Chagall
What counts is art. painting, a kind of painting that is quite different from what everyone makes it out to be. But what kind? Will God or someone else give me the strength to breathe the breath of prayer and mourning into my paintings, the breath of prayer for redemption and resurrection?
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
In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.
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
In my youth, poverty enriched me, but now I can afford wealth.
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
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
