Kahlo: "My painting carries with it the message of pain."
Kahlo: "I love you more than my own skin."
Kahlo: "I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration."
Kahlo: "I am my own muse, the subject I know best."
Kahlo: "Really, I do not know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the frankest expression of myself."
Kahlo: "I paint flowers so they will not die."
Kahlo: "Since my subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have frequently objectified all this in figures of myself, which were the most sincere and real thing that I could do in order to express what I felt inside and outside of myself."
Kahlo: "I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you."
Kahlo: "I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling."
Kahlo: "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best."
Kahlo: "There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst."
Kahlo: "The most important part of the body is the brain. Of my face, I like the eyebrows and eyes. Aside from that, I like nothing. My head is too small."
Kahlo: "Of the opposite sex, I have the moustache and, in general, the face."
Kahlo: "Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?"
Kahlo: "I was a child who went about in a world of colors... My friends, my companions, became women slowly; I became old in instants."
Kahlo: "I put on the canvas whatever comes into my mind."
Kahlo: "To paint is the most terrific thing that there is, but to do it well is very difficult."
Kahlo: "Painting completed my life."
