I Don't Admit That A Woman Draws

What Use Is My Mind? Granted That It Enables Me To Hail A Bus And To Pay My Fare. But Once I Am Inside My Studio, What Use Is My Mind? I Have My Model, My Pencil, My Paints. My Mind Doesn't Interest Me.

It Is All Very Well To Copy What One Sees, But It Is Far Better To Draw What One Now Only Sees In One's Memory. That Is A Transformation In Which Imagination Collaborates With Memory.

Women Can Never Forgive Me; They Hate Me, They Feel That I Am Disarming Them. I Show Them Without Their Coquetry.

I Put It [picture "a Still Life Of A Pear" By Edouard Manet] There [on The Wall, Next To The Picture "jupiter And Thetis" By Jean-auguste-dominique Ingres], For A Pear Like That Would Overthrow Any God.

I Should Like To Be Famous And Unknown.
