More from Gustav Klimt
"I can paint and draw. I do not talk about it. It is my gift. I do not know how other people feel, but I know how I feel and what I do."
"The more you look, the more you see."
"There is no self-portrait of me. I am not interested in myself as a 'subject for painting,' but in others, particularly women."
"Even when I have to write a simple letter I'm scared stiff, as if faced with looming seasickness."
"I do not seek to please, but to express."
