More quotes by Francisco Goya

Painting (like poetry) chooses from universals what is most apposite. It brings together in a single imaginery being circumstances and characteristics which occur in nature in many different persons.

I have now established an enviable way of living, and if anyone wants anything from me they must come to me.

Imagination without reason produces impossible monsters; with reason, it becomes the mother of the arts, and the source of its marvels.

A bride-to-be, Discreet and penitent, she presents herself to her parents in this guise.

But now? well now, now I have no fear of Witches, goblins, ghosts, thugs, Giants, ghouls, scallywags, etc, nor any sort of body.
