More From Pablo Picasso

You will remember when a bird crashed through the window and fell to the floor. you will remember, those of you who were there, how it jerked its wings before dying, and left a spot of blood on the floor after it was removed. but who among you was first to notice the negative bird it left in the window? who first saw the shadow that the bird left behind, the shadow that drew blood from any finger that dared to trace it, the shadow that was better proof of the bird's existence than the bird ever was?

Early bird oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird and catch the worm for your breakfast plate. if you’re a bird, be an early bird— but if you’re a worm, sleep late.

Everyone wants to understand art. why not try to understand the song of a bird? why does one love the night, flowers, everything around one, without trying to understand them? but in the case of a painting people have to understand. if only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only a trifling bit of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world, though we can't explain them. people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.

Everyone wants to understand art. why don't we try to understand the song of a bird? why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? but in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand.

The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.

A fish swims in the ocean, and no matter how far it swims there is no end to the water. a bird flies in the sky, and no matter how far it flies there is no end to the air. however the fish and the bird have never left their elements. thus each of them totally covers its full range, and each of them totally experiences its realm... know that water is life and air is life. the bird is life and the fish is life. life must be the bird and life must be the fish... practice, enlightenment and people are like this.

Because time is a drop in the ocean, and you cannot measure off one drop against another to see which one is bigger, which one is smaller.

I learned to make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for paradoxes. petals are bone marrow; pearls come from oysters. the dragon lives in the sky, ocean, marshes, and mountains; and the mountains are also its cranium. its voice thunders and jingles like copper pans. it breathes fire and water; and sometimes the dragon is one, sometimes many.

Everyone has ocean's to fly, if they have the heart to do it. is it reckless? maybe. but what do dreams know of boundaries?
