All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.
I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.
My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?
Life is like an ice-cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.
If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.
I love mankind; it's people I can't stand.
It doesn't matter what you believe just so long as you're sincere.
No problem is too big to run away from.
There's a difference between a philosophy and a bumper sticker.
Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask why me? Then a voice answers nothing personal, your name just happened to come up.

Great Quotes from Pablo Picasso
The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
Action is the foundational key to all success.
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
Love is the greatest refreshment in life.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
To draw you must close your eyes and sing.
I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.
To make oneself hated is more difficult than to make oneself loved.
Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar.
If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
The older you get the stronger the wind gets - and it's always in your face.
Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.
