The sun penetrates me soundlessly like a distant friend that stirs up my laziness, fertilizes it. We bring forth life.

More quotes by Paul Cezanne
You must think. The eye is not enough it needs to think as well.
Paul Cezanne
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Paul Cezanne
Everything vanishes, falls apart, doesn't it? Nature is always the same but nothing in her that appears to us lasts. Our art must render the thrill of her permanence, along with her elements, the appearance of all her changes. It must give us a taste of her Eternity.
Paul Cezanne
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
One had to immerse oneself in one's surroundings and intensely study nature or one's subject to understand how to recreate it.
Paul Cezanne
Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
The world doesn't understand me and I don't understand the world, that's why I've withdrawn from it.
Paul Cezanne
All my compatriots are asses compared to me.
Paul Cezanne

Paul Cezanne
Time and reflection change the sight little by little 'till we come to understand.
Paul Cezanne
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
I owe you the truth in painting, and I will tell it to you.
Paul Cezanne
I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
Paul Cezanne
There is no model, there is only color.
Paul Cezanne
I advance all of my canvas at one time.
Paul Cezanne
I am not altogether displeased with the shirt-front.
Paul Cezanne
It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.
Paul Cezanne
Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.
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
