The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.

Image
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Taste is the best judge. It is rare. Art only addresses itself to an excessively small number of individuals.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Talks on art are almost useless. The work which goes to bring progress in one's own subject is sufficient compensation for the incomprehension of imbeciles.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Fruits ... like having their portrait painted. They seem to sit there and ask your forgiveness for fading. Their thought is given off with their perfumes. They come with all their scents, they speak of the fields they have left, the rain which has nourished them, the daybreaks they have seen.
Paul Cezanne
Image
To achieve progress nature alone counts, and the eye is trained through contact with her. It becomes concentric by looking and working.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Knowledge of the means to express our emotion is essential- and is acquired only after a very long experience.
Paul Cezanne
Image
All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Sometimes I imagine colors as if they were living ideas, being of pure reason with which to communicate. Nature is not on the surface, it is deep down.
Paul Cezanne
Image
My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You have no idea how life-giving it is to find around one a youth that agrees not to bury one on the spot.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to help others.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?
Paul Cezanne
Image
I owe you the truth in painting, and I will tell it to you.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Right now a moment of time is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate...Give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone and the cylinder.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.
Paul Cezanne
Image
You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The approbation of others is a stimulus of which one must sometimes be wary. The feeling of one's own strength makes one modest.
Paul Cezanne
Image
People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.
