Frida Kahlo

"I dance on the edge of forever."

"What I am really hoping to do is to bring out the question of what identity is."

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

"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?"

"I am my own muse, I am the subject I know best. I am the subject I want to know better."

"At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can."

"I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality."

"Surrealism is the magical surprise of finding a lion in a wardrobe where you were expecting to find shirts."

"I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art."

"The only time I want to be away from you is when you're standing in front of my eyes."

"I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best."

"My heart is broken, but I am still alive."

"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me."

"Love is a terrible thing. It makes you doubt everything."

"I am radiant with health."

"You deserve someone who loves you with all aggressiveness of a man who knows he might lose you."

"I never lost my mind, it's still in a bottle somewhere."

"Passion is the bridge between pain and ecstasy."

"I raise my glass to pain. To suffering and to heart-ache."

"I paint flowers so they will not die."

"The days of my life have been my most extraordinary work of art."

"I am a poor woman, rich in spirit."

"Love breaks all the rules and so does art."

"My paintings carry with them the message of pain."

"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the soul, and saying yes."

"I never knew how thirsty I was till my well ran dry."

"I am the only authentic thing in a fake world."

"Despair is the prize of those who fear."

"I make myself pain in order to know I'm alive."

"Deep are the roots of feeling in this earth of ours."
