Camille Pissarro

I regard it as a waste of time to think only of selling: one forgets one's art and exaggerates one's value.

I began to understand my sensations, to know what I wanted, at around the age of forty - but only vaguely.

Everything is beautiful, all that matters is to be able to interpret.

If I can add, say, 10 great new violin concertos to the repertoire before I'm done, that will be truly exciting.

I generally don't follow domestic news that much aside from how it relates to the stories I'm covering abroad, like what Americans think of the War in Afghanistan.

I want to do just, like, regular art. Whatever is made today on canvas goes up against all of art history. It's the most radical thing.
