Here are some famous quotes from the artist, Pablo Picasso:

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." (one of my favorites)

"I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else."

"There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun."

"The world today doesn't make since, so why should I paint pictures that do?"

"The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense."

"I paint objects as i think them, not as I see them."

"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary."

"As an artist, all I need is my paints and brushes-and someone to drag me away when the canvas is done."

"Give me a museum and I'll fill it."
