Author of quotes: Frida Kahlo

Never knew that I surrealist until andré Breton came to Mexico and told me this.

Drawing has made my life complete. I lost three children and something else that could fill my monstrous life. My paintings have replaced it all. I think that work best.

The most important part of my body - the brain. I like my eyebrows and eyes. Besides, I don't like anything: my head is too small, my Breasts and genitals are average. From the opposite sex I got a mustache and the whole face.

You have no idea what these people [Parisians] are bastards. I feel bad about them. They are so damn 'intellectual' and rotten before that I can't stand it another second. It's really too much for me. I'd rather sit on the ground and sell tortillas, than have to deal with these "artistic" bitches of Paris. They sit for hours in a café, warming their precious talents, and conduct endless conversations about culture, art, revolution and so on and so forth, thinking that they are gods of the world, dreaming of fantastic nonsense and spoiling the air of the eternal ideas that will never come to life.

In Paris should have come only in order to understand why Europe is rotten, why are all these useless people gave rise to Hitler and Mussolini. I swear on my life I'm going to hate this place and these people until death.

I had fun waiting for care, and I hope never to return.

My painting carries with it the message of pain. Think I'm a surrealist. But I never painted dreams. I painted my reality.

Art is the equivalent of blood in the social body of humanity.

I have spent the day collecting flowers in the bouquets
I would paint sorrow, love, tenderness,
I calmly endured the stupidity of others
and all would say "poor crazy";
I would build my world,
and, while I'm alive, he'd be in agreement
with all the other worlds...

The most ridiculous thing in the world is a tragedy.

There is nothing more precious than laughter, it can be used to break away from yourself, to become weightless.

I hope that care will be successful, and I'm not going back.

I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim.

If this continues, then I'd rather be removed from this planet...
