More quotes by Paul Cezanne
What I am trying to translate to you is more mysterious, it is entwined in the very roots of being, in the implacable source of sensations.
Paul Cezanne
I owe you the truth in painting, and I will tell it to you.
Paul Cezanne
I wish to die painting.
Paul Cezanne
If I think, I am lost.
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
Don't be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
Paul Cezanne
I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.
Paul Cezanne
To achieve progress nature alone counts, and the eye is trained through contact with her. It becomes concentric by looking and working.
Paul Cezanne
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
Paul Cezanne
All my compatriots are asses compared to me.
Paul Cezanne
