Pablo Picasso: Citáty v angličtine (page 3)

“Youth has no age.”

“When I don't have red, I use blue.”

“I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.”

“I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else. After all, what is a painter? He is a collector who gets what he likes in others by painting them himself. This is how I begin and then it becomes something else.”

“He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.”

“What one does is what counts. Not what one had the intention of doing.”

“Give me a museum and I'll fill it.”

“All art is erotic.”

“Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things.”

“Every positive value has its price in negative terms… the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.”

“Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.”

“Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not melt in one's bath.”

“We don't grow older we grow riper.”

“The artist is a receptacle for emotions derived from anywhere: from the sky, from the earth, from a piece of paper, from a passing figure, from a spider’s web. This is a spider's web. This is why one must not make a distinction between things. For them there are no aristocratic quarterings. One must take things where one finds them.”

“What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who only has eyes, if he is a painter, or ears if he is a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet, or even, if he is a boxer, just his muscles? Far from it: at the same time he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool indifference to detach yourself from the very life which they bring to you so abundantly? No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.”

“Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction." ― Pablo Picasso”

“Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized.”

“There is only one way to see things,
until someone shows us how to look at them
with different eyes”

“The smell of opium is the least stupid smell in the world.”
