I sometimes have a horrible fear of turning up a canvas of mine. Im always afraid of finding a monster in place of the precious jewels I thought I had put there! – Camille Pissarro
Dont be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes. – Camille Pissarro
I began to understand my sensations, to know what I wanted, at around the age of forty – but only vaguely. – Camille Pissarro
My greatest fear is feeling like a professional novelist. Somebody who creates characters, who sits down and has pieces of paper taped to the wall – whats going to happen in this scene, or this act. What I like is for it to be a much more scary, sloppy reflection of who I am. – Jonathan Safran Foer
