Berthe Morisot

I don't think any man would ever treat a woman as his equal, and that's all I would ask, for I know I'm worth as much as they are.

It is important to express oneself, to try to create something, however insignificant it may seem. One must not be afraid of making mistakes.

I believe that one must paint as one feels, and not as one thinks.

The only way to be happy is to be oneself, without fear or compromise.

I am always trying to capture something fleeting, something that will disappear in an instant.

The more I paint, the more I realize how much there is to learn.

One must always be true to one's own vision, even if it means going against the current.

I wish I could express all that I feel, but words are so inadequate.

The greatest joy is to create something beautiful, something that will touch the hearts of others.

I am never satisfied with my work, which is perhaps a good thing, as it keeps me striving for more.

To be an artist is to live with constant doubt, but also with moments of intense joy.

I find beauty in the most ordinary things, in the everyday moments of life.

One must have courage to be an artist, to expose one's soul to the world.

I believe that art should be a reflection of life, in all its complexity and beauty.

The light is everything. It transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.

I am always seeking to capture the fleeting moment, the impression of a scene.

Painting is a way of seeing, a way of understanding the world around us.

One must never stop learning, never stop experimenting.

I find inspiration in nature, in the changing seasons, in the play of light and shadow.

The most important thing is to be honest in one's art, to express one's true feelings.
