I must have flowers, always, and always.

It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I can only draw what I see.

If the world really looks like...

If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!

Claude Monet 171 quotes

When you go out to paint, try ...

When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you - a tree, house, a field....Merely think, here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives your own naive impression of the scene before you.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

One day Boudin said to me, 'Learn to draw well and appreciate the sea, the light, the blue sky.' I took his advice.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I'm getting so slow at my work it makes me despair, but... I'm increasingly obsessed by the need to render what I experience, and I'm praying that I'll have a few more good years left to me...

Claude Monet 171 quotes

No one but myself knows the an...

No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself to finish paintings which do not satisfy me and seem to please so very few others.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Take clear water with grass waving at the bottom. It's wonderful to look at, but to try to paint it is enough to make one insane.

For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at any moment.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

The point is to know how to use the colours, the choice of which is, when all's said and done, a matter of habit.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I haven't yet managed to capture the colour of this landscape; there are moments when I'm appalled at the colours I'm having to use, I'm afraid what I'm doing is just dreadful and yet I really am understating it; the light is simply terrifying.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I'm quite content: although what I'm doing is far from being as I should like, I am complemented often enough all the same...

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Manet wanted one day to paint my wife and children. Renoir was there. He took a canvas and began painting them, too. After a while, Manet took me aside and whispered, 'You're on very good terms with Renoir and take an interest in his future - do advise him to give up painting! You can see for yourself that it's not his metier at all.

I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I'm working hard with more determination than ever. My success at the Salon led to my selling several paintings and since your absence I have made 800 francs; I hope, when I have contracts with more dealers, it will be better still.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

My aim is to give you only the...

My aim is to give you only the things with which I am completely satisfied, even if it means asking you a little more [time] for them... for if I were to do otherwise I'd turn into a mere painting machine and you would be landed with a pile of incomplete work which would put off the most enthusiastic of art collectors...
