Pablo Picasso

It takes a long time to become young.

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

Give me a museum and I'll fill it.

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

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

Youth has no age.

Work is a necessity for man. Man invented the alarm clock.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.

The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.

It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.

I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money.

Everything you can imagine is real.

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.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Without great solitude, no serious work is possible.

We are born artists. And then society does its best to beat it out of us.

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up.

Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.

Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Action is the foundational key to all success.

Good artists copy, great artists steal.
