This was a different collection of Monet's works with quotes from him included with each photo. Very interesting to see how he viewed life and his work.

Here's my favorite quotes from the book:
"I have no other wish than to mingle with nature, and I aspire to no other destiny than to work and live in harmony with her laws".
"...My desire would be to stay just like this in a quiet corner of nature"
