Frida Kahlo — "I paint flowers so they will not die."

"I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you."

"I wish I could do whatever I liked behind the curtain of 'madness'. Then: I'd arrange flowers, all day long, I'd paint; pain, love and tenderness, I would laugh as much as I feel like at the stupidity…"

"I want a storm to come and flood us into a song that no one has ever heard."

"I want to be useful. I want to build. I want to be part of something."

"Pain, pleasure and death are no more than a process for existence. The revolutionary struggle in this process is a doorway open to intelligence."
