“When there's anything to steal, I steal”

Quoted in: Thought. Vol. 17 (1965). p. 154.
The magazine further commented:
Picasso's remark — "When there's anything to steal, I steal" — was fair warning to the competition. In modern art he has been, for years, the cock-of- the-walk, (The broody hens, one supposes, are also part of that picture.) But the book is valuable, primarily, for Picasso's observations about his own work and the work of others.
