Quotes:

Adriana: That Paris exists and anyone could choose to live anywhere else in the world will always be a mystery to me.

Inez: You're in love with a fantasy.::Gil: I'm in love with you.

Gil: I'm having trouble because I'm a Hollywood hack who never gave real literature a shot.

Gil: Yes, but you're a surrealist! I'm a normal guy!

Gil: It's understated but elegant. That's what you always say.::Helen: Cheap is cheap. That's what I always say.

Inez: You always take the side of the help. That's why Daddy says you're a communist.

Gil: Gil Pender.::Ernest Hemingway: Hemingway.::Gil: Hemingway?::Ernest Hemingway: You liked my book?::Gil: Liked? I loved all of your work.::Ernest Hemingway: Yes. It was a good book because it was an honest book, and that's what war does to men. And there's nothing fine and noble about dying in the mud unless you die gracefully. And then it's not only noble but brave.

Gil: You can fool me, but you cannot fool Ernest Hemingway!

Gil: What is it with this city? I need to write a letter to the Chamber of Commerce.

Ernest Hemingway: No subject is terrible if the story is true, if the prose is clean and honest, and if it affirms courage and grace under pressure.

Quotes:

Paul Gauguin: The essence of a work lies precisely in what is not expressed. It has no material being.

Vincent van Gogh: Without substance there is no art.

Vincent van Gogh: A painting must have heart, soul, passion. Without that it's worthless.

Vincent van Gogh: I must finish my work.

Vincent van Gogh: [Vincent arguing with his brother Theo, who is an art dealer] The people who run this field, they're the worst enemies of art. They encourage the worst, the most barbaric taste. But you - - my God, you could do something about it.

Vincent van Gogh: Someday I must be able to paint portraits that - - a hundred years from now they will appear like apparitions to the people seeing them. They would be like ghosts - - the living spirits of the dead. They'd still be striving, growling, eternal life.

Vincent van Gogh: [Vincent rhapsodizes to Gauguin on his vision for the Studio of the South] We could leave behind a body of work that would last forever. We could educate the people. We could change the world.

Vincent van Gogh: Just think, Paul, this could be the beginning of a whole new era, a new dawn in art: The Studio of the South.

Vincent van Gogh: Someday I must be able to do a figure in just a few strokes. Imagine. In a few strokes, a man, a woman, a child with the head, body, and legs - - all in the right proportion.

Paul Gauguin: Painting, Vincent, is a whore. You can make beautiful love to it. You can titillate and suck and nurture every erogenous area. You can bring it to orgasm, hour after hours. And if you're lucky, really lucky, you'll get a little kiss in return.

THE MOST REVEALING LIFE-INSPIRED STORY EVER FILMED! (original print ad - all caps)
The best-seller comes to the screen...the drama of a man who lived with insatiable passion.
He had a lust for life. Sometimes he was brutal, sometimes delicate---always he lived with insatiable passion!

Quotes:

Paul Gauguin: With all your talk of emotion, all I see when I look at your work is just that you paint too fast!::Vincent Van Gogh: You look too fast!

Paul Gauguin: I like 'em fat and vicious and not too smart. Nothing spiritual either. To have to say 'I love you' would break my teeth. I don't want to be loved.

Vincent Van Gogh: If I'm to be anything as a painter I've got to break through that iron wall between what I feel and what I express. my best chance of doing it is here, where my roots are... the people I know, the earth I know.

Paul Gauguin: If it's one thing I despise, it's emotionalism in painting.

Vincent Van Gogh: I tried to show a place where a man can ruin himself, go mad... commit a crime.

Gauguin, Paul Filmography

  1950, role: writer

Famous quotes by Paul Gauguin:

"Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite."

"I have always wanted a mistress who was fat, and I have never found one. To make a fool of me, they are always pregnant."

"The missionary is no longer a man, a conscience. He is a corpse, in the hands of a confraternity, without family, without love, without any of the sentiments that are dear to us. Emasculated, in a sense, by his vow of chastity, he offers us the distressing spectacle of a man deformed and impotent or engaged in a stupid and useless struggle with the sacred needs of the flesh, a struggle which, seven times out of ten, leads him to sodomy, the gallows, or prison."

"Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them."

"The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public."

"It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block."

"Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge."

"Concentrate your strengths against your competitor's relative weaknesses."

"We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves"

"I shut my eyes in order to see."

"There is always a heavy demand for fresh mediocrity. In every generation the least cultivated taste has the largest appetite."

"Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!"

"Many excellent cooks are spoilt by going into the arts."

"Art is either plagiarism or revolution."

"We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves."

"Civilization is what makes you sick."

"Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty?"

"In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone who are masters."
