„Hołdem dla artysty jest, gdy go okradają.“
— Georges Braque

„By using a white paint applied to the canvas I make a napkin. But I am sure the white shape is something conceived before knowing what it was to become. This means that a certain transformation has taken place... In a painting, what counts is the unexpected.“
— Georges Braque
Quote by Braque, from 'Le Monologue du Peintre', George Charbonnier, Paris 1959
„We [ Picasso and Braque], were living in Montmartre, we saw each other every day.... We were like two mountaineers roped together.“
— Georges Braque

[Braque refers to their common years in Paris, c. 1907 - 1912]
„To avoid a projection towards infinity I am interposing overlaid planes a short way off. To make it understood that things are in front of each other instead of being scattered in space.“
— Georges Braque
Quote from: 'Entretien avec Jauqes Lassaigne' - 1961; as quoted in Futurism, ed. Didier Ottinger; Centre Pompidou / 5 Continents Editions, Milan, 2008, p. 94
„Picasso and I said things to each other during those particular years [c. 1908 -1913] that nobody would any longer know how to say, that nobody would be able to understand any.... things that would be incomprehensible, and which gave us so much pleasure.“
— Georges Braque
p. 14 - In: 'Braque, la peinture et nous'
„Whatever is in common is true; but likeness is false. Trouillebert's work bears a likeness to that of Corot, but they have nothing in common.“
— Georges Braque
