"I suffered two grave accidents in my
life One in which a streetcar knocked me down, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst. - Frida 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. - Frida Kahlo
Nothing is worth more
than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. -Frida Kahlo
Remember that every tic toc is
a second of life that goes by and doesnt repeat itself, there is in it so much intensity, so much interest, that there is only the problem of how to live it To each one to resolve your own, as the best you can. -Frida Kahlo
