Most famous for her romantic side, her wit, charm, artistic ability, and yes, her unapologetic unibrow, Frida Kahlo is one of my personal heroes. A peek at a few of the things she's said, and you'll see why... and maybe she'll inspire your inner artist, too.

Comments
kennesth: #9 is incorrectly translated. It should read "every time I talk to you, I die a bit more"
Gabrielle: Mi paisana. She will always inspire us! Aqui vives Frida ! Y no pagas renta!,
Gaby_: She was amazing. Her words about strangeness are so beautiful.
Sarah: Lovely. She and her husband, Diego Rivera, were known as the Elephant and the Dove. He thought she was beautiful, and loved her universe and mustache😊When they argued she'd cut some of her hair to hurt his feelings.
peony: Love freida
Cyn: Lovely, except for her mustache
Amarys: Her life was so tragic, that's why her paintings and quotes were so deep. Diego made her suffer and he was unfaithful. I went to their museum where they used to live in Mexico and it was amazing. I really appreciate her work.
Desiree: ¡Que viva Frida!
Melissa: Such an inspiration, and in her own way. Love her!
Racheal: Beautiful woman. Amazing artist.
