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
People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.

Paul Cezanne
Image

Paul Cezanne
Image
I paint as if I were Rothschild.
Paul Cezanne
Image
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
Paul Cezanne
Image
Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.
Paul Cezanne
Image

Paul Cezanne
Image
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
Image
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
Paul Cezanne
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
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
