7 quotes by Picasso

Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?

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

Everything you can imagine is real.

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

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

I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.

Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar.
 

What Picasso can do with four lines

The Buddhist




In the winter I’m a Buddhist,
In the summer I’m a nudist,
And when happiness is mootest
That’s just when I’m at my cutest.

Jump on the surfboard of the spermatozoon
And then try to figure out just where you’re goin’.

That which sees but is not seen
And puts on flesh to feel,
Immerses itself in the carnal dream
And bobs to the surface for meals.

When peeing, wait for the shiver.
When shitting, wait for the pee.
When stroking, wait for the quiver.
When coming, wait for me!
