“My art, what do you want to say about it? Do you think you can explain the merits of a picture to those who do not see them? . . . I can find the best and clearest words to explain my meaning, and I have spoken to the most intelligent people about art, and they have not understood; but among people who understand, words are not necessary, you say humph, he, ha and everything has been said.”
― Edgar Degas, Degas by Himself : Drawings, Paintings, Writings

“The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think”

“A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people”

“Failure is success in progress”
