Edgar Degas
I have been, or seemed, hard with everyone because I was carried away by a sort of brutality born of my distrust in myself and my ill-humor.

Edgar Degas
No art is less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and the study of the great masters.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
One does not marry art. One ravishes it.
Edgar Degas
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
Edgar Degas
The secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
Edgar Degas
