Zitat des Tages von Frida Kahlo:
There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst.
Since my subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have frequently objectified all this in figures of myself, which were the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself.
I am happy to be alive, as long as I can paint.
I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.
I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.
I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling.
My toys were those of a boy: skates, bicycles.
Painting completed my life.
I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
Of the opposite sex, I have the moustache and, in general, the face.
I love you more than my own skin.
I find that Americans completely lack sensibility and good taste. They are boring, and they all have faces like unbaked rolls.
Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?
My painting carries with it the message of pain.
I paint flowers so they will not die.
I don't know how to write love letters.
Really, I do not know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the frankest expression of myself.
The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.
