(Excerpt from amazon.com)
長久以來，人們普遍認為人類的能力有種種極限，儘管已經有許多科學研究證實這種觀點的錯誤，但根深蒂固的心態仍然阻礙著我們，使我們看不見許多潛藏的可能性，未能發掘與運用自己與他人的無限潛能，於是，在面對種種壓力、變革、與不確定性下，我們感到精疲力竭、黔驢技窮。不論我們多麼勤奮努力，不論我們付出多少，仍然無法達到期盼的生活與境界。其實，還有別的方法，生命可以有另一種不同的風貌。
For Monet, the act of creation was always a painful struggle. His obsession to express emotions and to transmit light effects over nature was much more intense than his contemporaries. In his words: Skills come and go... Art is always the same: a transposition of Nature that requests as much will as sensitivity. I strive and struggle against the sun... should as well paint with gold and precious stones.
莫內把印象派的理想，所謂「光的神祕」，將全部身心投入奉獻進去。他也是創造「組畫」的畫家，從來沒有一位畫家，將一種主題以不同時辰、不同季節、不同氣氛來表現。因為他的畫都在戶外寫生，而且尋覓到那麼多「畫點」，所以現在有所謂「莫內繪畫之旅」的導覽。
