Quote by Camille Pissarro

I began to understand my sensations, to know what I wanted, at around the age of forty - but only vaguely.

I began to understand my sensations, to know what I wanted,

Summary

This quote suggests that the person didn't fully comprehend or have a clear understanding of their desires until they reached the age of forty. Prior to that, their understanding of their own feelings and wants was limited, possibly indicating a lack of self-awareness. The phrase "but only vaguely" implies that even at forty, although some understanding was gained, it was not yet fully developed or well-defined. It highlights the gradual journey of self-discovery and suggests that it took time for the individual to truly comprehend their own sensations and desires.
