More quotes by Claude Monet

Zaandam is particularly remarkable and there is enough here to paint for a life-time.

I have not been able to see a bit of sea or any water at all; everything is frozen and covered with snow.

Since the appearance of Impressionism, the official salons, which used to be brown, have become blue, green, and red.. .But peppermint or chocolate, they are still confections.

I can no longer work outside because of the intensity of the light.

I didn't become one.. .As long as I can remember I've always been one.

‎Charles F. Stuckey (1985)
