Here are several **verified quotes of wisdom** from **Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)** — the Spanish painter, sculptor, and co-founder of Cubism — along with brief interpretive meanings:



**1.**

> “Everything you can imagine is real.”
> **Meaning:** Imagination isn’t an escape from reality — it’s the foundation of it. What we create begins in what we dare to envision.



**2.**

> “Action is the foundational key to all success.”
> **Meaning:** Thinking, planning, and dreaming have little value without action. Creativity and achievement are born when ideas move into motion.



**3.**

> “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”
> **Meaning:** Mastery isn’t about sophistication, but about recovering simplicity, authenticity, and openness — the qualities we often lose with age.



**4.**

> “Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.”
> **Meaning:** Inspiration is not random luck; it rewards discipline. Creativity comes to those already in motion, not those waiting for the perfect moment.



**5.**

> “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.”
> **Meaning:** Art — in any form — cleanses the spirit, reconnecting us to what is human, beautiful, and alive beneath the routines of existence.



**6.**

> “Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.”
> **Meaning:** A stark reminder to act now. Postponement steals meaning from life; urgency restores it.



**7.**

> “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”
> **Meaning:** True innovation arises from understanding and transcending structure — not ignoring it. Mastery gives permission to experiment.



Would you like me to choose two or three of these and present them in your **“Ledord” and “Tanke”** format (as in your book entries)?
