Paul Cezanne

The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution.

One does not substitute oneself for the past, one merely adds to it a new link.

Here, on the river's verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left.

Tell me, do you think I'm going mad? I sometimes wonder, you know.

I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.

The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.

Two sittings a day of my models and I'm totally exhausted.

A puny body weakens the soul.

People think how a sugar basin has no physiognomy, no soul. But it changes every day.

Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.

Is it the factitious and the conventional that most surely succeed on earth and in the course of life?

My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I've been pursuing all my life.
