More quotes by Paul Gauguin
If I did what has already been done, I would be a plagiarist and would consider myself unworthy so I do something different and people call me a scoundrel. I'd rather be a scoundrel than a plagiarist!
Paul Gauguin
Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.
Paul Gauguin
Go on working, freely and furiously, you will make progress and sooner or later your worth will be recognised, if you have any.
Paul Gauguin
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will.
Paul Gauguin
Perhaps I have no talent, but all vanity aside - I do not believe that anyone makes an artistic attempt, no matter how small, without having a little - or there are many fools.
Paul Gauguin
Lacking many of the essential implements, it irritated me to be reduced to impotence in the face of artistic projects to which I had passionately given myself.
Paul Gauguin
A time will come when people will think I am a myth, or rather something the newspapers have made up.
Paul Gauguin
In order to produce something new, you have to return to the original source, to the childhood of mankind.
Paul Gauguin
Nature has mysterious infinities and imaginative power. It is always varying the productions it offers to us. The artist himself is one of nature's means.
Paul Gauguin
Take care not to step on the foot of a learned idiot. His bite is incurable.
Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin
It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object beware of this stumbling block.
Paul Gauguin
The landscape with its violent, pure colours dazzled and blinded me. I was always uncertain.
Paul Gauguin
Life is merely a fraction of a second. An infinitely small amount of time to fulfill our desires, our dreams, our passions.
Paul Gauguin
The great artist is a formulation of the greatest intelligence: he is the recipient of sensations which are the most delicate and consequently the most invisible expressions of the brain.
Paul Gauguin
I am a great artist and I know it, it is because I am that I have been able to endure so much suffering.
Paul Gauguin
The critics can say stupid things and we can enjoy them, if we have the legitimate feeling of superiority - the satisfaction of a duty accomplished.
Paul Gauguin
Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist.
Paul Gauguin
Out in the sun, some painters are lined up. The first is copying nature, the second is copying the first, the third is copying the second... You see the sequence.
Paul Gauguin
I am a great artist and I know it. It's because of what I am that I have endured so much suffering, so as to pursue my vocation, otherwise I would consider myself a rogue - which is what many people think I am, for that matter.
Paul Gauguin
