You can feel the stars and the infinity of the sky since life, in spite of everything, is like a dream (Vincent Van Gogh Quotes)
Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone, except to ask for diner or coffee. And it has been like that form the beginning (Vincent Van Gogh Quotes)
By working hard, old man, I hope to make something good one day. I haven’t yet, but I am pursuing it and fighting for it (Vincent Van Gogh Quotes)
Conscience is a man’s compass, and though the needle sometimes deviates, though one often perceives irregularities in directing one’s course by it, still one must try to follow its direction (Vincent Van Gogh Quotes)
An artist needn’t be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men (Vincent Van Gogh Quotes)
