When it comes right down to it

When it comes right down to it, all you have is your Self. Your Self is a sun with a thousand rays.

~Pablo Picasso

Painting is

Painting is a blind man's profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.

— PABLO PICASSO

God is really

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat. He has no real style. He just keeps on trying other things.

- Pablo Picasso

It takes

"It takes a long time to grow young."

- Picasso

Computers

Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.

~Pablo Picasso

Only put of

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

~Pablo Picasso

The artist is

The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

~Pablo Picasso

My mother said

My mother said to me, "If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope." Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.

~Pablo Picasso

Everyone wants to understand

Everyone wants to understand painting. Why don't they try to understand the singing of birds?"

~Pablo Picasso
