Edvard Munch

"Nature itself is not fixed, but flows"

"I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best"

"A scream pierces through nature"

"Life begins where fear ends"

"One lonely being screams out across the world"

"Jealousy is just another word for fear"

"Art comes from joy and pain"

"I am my own model"

"The opposite of play is not work, it is depression"

"Without anxiety and illness, I should have been like a ship without a rudder"

"Beauty of form alone is a cold thing"

"We are all afraid, but those who are strong face their fear"

"Life is as much about death as it is about living"

"My fundamental passion is mankind"

"I want to paint the air itself"

"The strongest human emotion is fear"

"Art should depict the experience of people, not just their appearance"

"In every person, there is something eternal"

"I have as it were, created myself"

"The artist's duty is to create a world that speaks to the human soul"

"Humans are better than any animal, but worse than any god"

"Love is like a disease that strikes without warning"

"Colors have their own life and speak their own language"

"We are stronger when we face our demons"

"The night is darker than the soul itself"

"All art begins in the imagination of the artist"

"I have often stood at night before my canvas not knowing what I would paint"

"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit"

"The human face is the most interesting surface in the world"

"To create is to purge oneself of demons"
