These Frida Kahlo Quotes Are as Evocative as Her Paintings

Famed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo may have been known for her fantastical self-portraits, but she was also a poet. Before her death in 1954, Kahlo's life was riddled with sorrow. As a child, she had Polio, she was in a near-fatal traffic accident at 18 that caused prolonged problems, and she married self-confessed serial womanizer Diego Rivera, who was one of Mexico's most successful artists at the time. Despite the despair, Kahlo found strength in her pain. It inspired her profound paintings and thought-provoking quotes—which she wrote in love letters to Rivera and in her diary. According to a new book that highlights some of her most enduring wisdom, What Would Frida Do? A Guide to Living Boldly, she once said that she didn't "belong to any category," and as such, her words were vast.
