4 Frida Kahlo Quotes on Suffering

Frida Kahlo quotes on suffering

1. A little while ago, not much more than a few days ago, I was a child who went about in a world of colors, of hard and tangible forms. Everything was mysterious and something was hidden, guessing what it was was a game for me. If you knew how terrible it is to know suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning elucidated the earth. Now I live in a painful planet, transparent as ice; but it is as if I had learned everything at once in seconds.

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

5. I have suffered two grave accidents in my life, one in which a streetcar knocked me down... The other accident is Diego.

7. I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.
