Edgar Degas

„Žádné umění není méně spontánní než moje. Inspirace, bezprostřednost, temperament jsou mi neznámé. Stejný námět je třeba opakovat desetkrát, ba dokonce stokrát. V umění se nic nesmí podobat náhodě, dokonce ani pohyb ne.“

posthumous quotes, The Shop-Talk of Edgar Degas', (1961)

I have felt so badly equipped, so soft, in spite of the fact that my attitude towards art seemed to me so just. I was disgusted with everyone, and especially myself. I ask your pardon, then, if, with this damned art as an excuse, I have wounded your noble and intelligent spirit; perhaps even your heart..”
