Paul Gauguin
Image
It is better to paint from memory, for thus your work will be your own.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Paul Gauguin
Image
By the combination of lines and colors, under the pretext of some motif taken from nature, I create symphonies and harmonies that represent nothing absolutely real in the ordinary sense of the word but are intended to give rise to thoughts as music does.
Paul Gauguin
Image
Oh mysterious world... I have become better for having understood and having loved thy human soul - a flower which has ceased to bloom and whose fragrance no one henceforth will breathe.
Paul Gauguin

Today one can dare anything, and, furthermore, nobody is surprised.
