Quotes from Frida Kahlo

Quisiera darte todo lo que nunca hubieras tenido, y ni así sabrías la maravilla que es poder quererte

to feel the anguish of waiting for the next moment and of taking part in the complex current (of affairs) not knowing that we are headed toward ourselves, through millions of stone beings - of bird beings - of star beings - of microbe beings - of fountain beings toward ourselves

Wordless, Infinite — You. You intensify everything. You are fire burning all that is left of my heart.

Pies pa' que los quiero, si tengo alas pa' volar

Vivir de recuerdos es morir.

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.

Mai in vita mia Dimenticherò la tua presenza. Tu mi hai presa quando ero spezzata E mi hai riparata Su questa terra troppo piccola Dove potrei mai voltare il mio sguardo? Così immenso, così profondo! Non c'è più tempo. Non c'è più nulla. Distanza. C'è soltanto la realtà. Quello che è stato, è stato per sempre.

People in general are scared to death of the war and all the exhibition have been a failure, because the rich - don't want to buy anything

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim." --

La belleza y la fealdad son un espejismo, porque los demás terminan viendo nuestro interior.

Que todo termina en un instante Planatera doloroso

It was worthwhile to come here only to see why Europe is rottening, why all this people - good for nothing - are the cause of all the Hitlers and Mussolinis.

Yo le duro lo que usted me cuide, yo le hablo como usted me trate y le creo lo que usted me demuestre.

I am nauseated by all these rotten people in Europe - and these fucking "democracies" are not worth even a crumb.

You too know that all my eyes see, all I touch with myself, from any distance, is Diego. The caress of fabrics, the color of colors, the wires, the nerves, the pencils, the leaves, the dust, the cells, the war and the sun, everything experienced in the minutes of the non-clocks and the non-calendars and the empty non-glances, is him.

Espero que la salida sea alegre y espero no volver nunca más.

This upper class is disgusting and I'm furious at all these rich people here, having seen thousands of people in abject squalor.

Te vas? No. Alas rotas.

Si actuas como si supieras lo que estas haciendo, puedes hacer lo que quieras.

You deserve a lover who takes away the lies and brings you hope, coffee, and poetry.

Perhaps it is expected that I should lament about how I have suffered living with a man like Diego. But I do not think that the banks of a river suffer because they let the river flow, nor does the earth suffer because of the rains, nor does the atom suffer for letting its energy escape. To my way of thinking, everything has its natural compensation.

I could kill that guy and eat it afterwards...

Cada (tic-tac) es un segundo de la vida que pasa, huye, y no se repite. Y hay en ella tanta intensidad, tanto interés, que el problema es sólo saberla vivir. Que cada quien lo resuelva como pueda.

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.
