Quotes by Frida Kahlo

“To trap one's self-suffering is to risk being devoured from the inside.”

“I think that little by little I'll be able to solve my problems and survive.”

“I paint flowers to prevent them from dying”

“I love you more than my own skin and even though you don't love me the same way, you love me anyways, don't you? And if you don't, I'll always have the hope that you do, and i'm satisfied with that. Love me a little. I adore you.”

“My paintings are well-painted, not nimbly but patiently. My painting contains in it the message of pain. I think that at least a few people are interested in it. It's not revolutionary. Why keep wishing for it to be belligerent? I can't. Painting completed my life. I lost three children and a series of other things that would have fulfilled my horrible life. My painting took the place of all of this. I think work is the best.”

“What would I do without the absurd and the ephemeral?”
