All is well with me. The rain doesn't reach me, my room is well heated, what more can one ask for? There's no shortage of work, either.

More quotes by Paul Klee

Image
I want to be as though new-born, knowing nothing, absolutely nothing. Then I want to do something modest to work out by myself a tiny, formal motive, one that my pencil will be able to hold without technique.
Paul Klee
Image
By using patches of color and tone it is possible to capture every natural impression in the simplest way, freshly and immediately.
Paul Klee
Image
One day I will lie nowhere with an angel at my side.
Paul Klee
Image
He neither serves nor rules, he transmits. His position is humble and the beauty at the crown is not his own. He is merely a channel.
Paul Klee
Image
Drawing is the art of taking a line for a walk.
Paul Klee
Image
We document, explain, justify, construct, organize: these are good things, but we do not succeed in coming to the whole. But we may as well calm down: construction is not absolute. Our virtue is this: by cultivating the exact we have laid the foundations for a science of art, including the unknown X.
Paul Klee
Image
Becoming is superior to being.
Paul Klee
Image
Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus, there exists no beautiful woman, none at all, because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.
Paul Klee
Image
My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.
Paul Klee
Image
Everything passes, and what remains of former times, what remains of life, is the spiritual. In everything we do, the claim of the Absolute is unchanging.
Paul Klee
Image
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
Paul Klee
Image
Make chance essential.
Paul Klee
Image
It is the artistic mission to penetrate as far as may be toward that secret ground where primal law feeds growth.
Paul Klee
Image
Gradually compositions make an appearance again. Political - satirical - conceits expressed in one figure or a few.
Paul Klee
Image
All art is a memory of age-old things, dark things, whose fragments live on in the artist.
Paul Klee
Image
Every artist would like to live in the central organ of creation... Not all are destined to get there... but our beating hearts drive us deep down, right into the pit of creation.
Paul Klee
Image
Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.
Paul Klee
Image
I have a clear view of 12 years of history of my inner self. First the cramped self, that self with big blinkers, then the disappearance of the blinkers and the self, now gradually the reemergence of a self without blinkers.
Paul Klee
Image
My hand is entirely the implement of a distant sphere. It is not my head that functions but something else, something higher, something somewhere remote. I must have great friends there, dark as well as bright. They are all very kind to me.
Paul Klee
Image
In my productive activity, every time a type grows beyond the stage of its genesis, and I have about reached the goal, the intensity gets lost very quickly, and I have to look for new ways.
