You have to have a high conception, not of what you are doing, but of what you may do one day: without that, there's no point in working.
Edgar Degas
Image
You must aim high, not in what you are going to do at some future date, but in what you are going to make yourself do to-day. Otherwise, working is just a waste of time.
Edgar Degas
Image

Edgar Degas
Image
The secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
Edgar Degas
Image
I should like to be famous and unknown.
Edgar Degas

What is certain is that setting a piece of nature in place and drawing it are two very different things.
Edgar Degas
Image
The museums are here to teach the history of art and something more as well, for, if they stimulate in the weak a desire to imitate, they furnish the strong with the means of their emancipation.
Edgar Degas
Image
Art' is the same word as 'artifice,' that is to say, something deceitful. It must succeed in giving the impression of nature by false means.
Edgar Degas
Image
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
Image
There is no such thing as Intelligence one has intelligence of this or that. One must have intelligence only for what one is doing.
