There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. Im a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening – figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits. – Gustav Klimt
Sometimes I miss out the mornings painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open. – Gustav Klimt
Whoever wants to know something about me – as an artist which alone is significant – they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want. – Gustav Klimt
Stuart was an early riser: he was almost always the first person up in the morning. He liked the feeling of being the first one stirring; he enjoyed the quiet rooms with the books standing still on the shelves, the pale light coming in through the windows, and the fresh smell of day. – E.B. White, Stuart Little, 1945
