Paul Cezanne
Image
I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I want to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am beginning to consider myself stronger than all those around me, and you know that the good opinion I have of myself has only been reached after mature consideration.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am progressing very slowly, for nature reveals herself to me in very complex forms and the progress needed is incessant.
Paul Cezanne
Image
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
