Quotes from the Masters: Picasso
I’m creating a new category of posts that I am calling, “Quotes from the Masters.” Because of my proximity to Augusta, Georgia, I must add the disclaimer that it’s not about golf.
What it IS about is gleaning the best quotes I can find from European masters of literature, philosophy, theology, music, and the visual, performing, and culinary arts.
It will be up to you to “Bring It Home.” 
Since I’ve been having so much fun with the blogging challenges, I’m offering this up as a blogging challenge as well, though it will be a soft challenge. Feel free to use the quote as an inspiration for your own post this week and interpret it as you like, using a photograph, a story, a reflection, a poem, a flower, a song, a recipe, a cup of tea –whatever! Please title this one, ”Quotes from the Masters: Picasso” and please add the link to this page on your post. I’d be delighted to see a link to your post on the comments section of this page, too.
I’ll plan to post a new quote each Saturday–but if I don’t, either I’m taking a break or my server is down. In other words, don’t set your clock by me!
Here you are, your inspiration for today:
“Everything you can imagine is real.” Pablo Picasso

Thank you, Choc Chip Uru!
That is a superb shot of the Eiffel tower!
I’m glad you like it, Madhu! I’d love for you to join the challenge!
Robin what a wonderful idea! I can’t wait to see what everyone submits; it’s a great quote! And thankfully has nothing to do with golf
Thanks, Kerry. I do like that quote. I’m glad you like the idea (I’d love to see what you submit, too!
)
Ooooh, I like this challenge. And I love the photo–I haven’t seen many images of the Eiffel Tower from that angle at night. I’ll have to see what quotes I can come find.
I am so cheered to know that Madame Weebles approves.
That’s a great start point Robin.
Thanks, Jo!
I hope you’ll participate–I know that you have so much fine fodder for the imagination!

A unique perspective of the Eiffel, and very beautiful. The quote is perfect! Great idea.
Thank you, Elisa!
ALSO: “My mother said to me, If you become a soldier, you’ll be a a General; If you become a monk, you’ll wind up as the Pope; Instead,I became a painter, and wound up as Picasso. ” Pablo Picasso (gorgeous photo, great idea)
Great quote, Babe! Thanks for sharing. (Guess he had no issues with low self-esteem, did he?
)
I love this picture, it is perfect!!

Thank you, Cynthia. I thought it was rather apropos, myself.
Wow, look at all those lights! I like your quote and photo, a very good match.
Thank you, Lorna! I thought the building of the Eiffel Tower, the harnessing of electricity would work well to illustrate the realization of things imagined.
It works perfectly, an excellent choice!
Thank you, Lorna.
” That Tour ” appears to be a golden way. Like it!
It does look golden! Thank you for that lovely comment.
This brings back memories…. Glad you posted this Robin! I can now reminisce all day!
Well, great! Have fun with that, Cathy.
I like your photo it is perfectly taken. https://www.acuprice.com/
