Edgar Degas Quotes on Emotion

3 quotes

  1. There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.

  2. 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. 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.

  3. The moods of sadness that come over anyone who takes up art... these dismal moods have very little compensation.
