The artist spends the first part of his life with the dead, the second with the living, and the third with himself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you are young and without success, you have only a few friends. Then, later on, when you are rich and famous, you still have a few... if you are lucky.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
Pablo Picasso
