Quotes from the same author

Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.
 Paul Cezanne
Here on the edge of the river, the motifs are very plentiful, the same subject seen from a different angle gives a subject for study of the highest interest and so varied that I think I could be occupied for months without changing my place, simply bending a little more to the right or left.
 Paul Cezanne

 Paul Cezanne

 Paul Cezanne
