“You are a grand nerveux, Vincent,” Doctor Rey had told him. “You never have been normal. But then, no artist is normal; if he were, he wouldn’t be an artist. Normal men don’t create works of art. They eat, sleep, hold down routine jobs, and die. You are hypersensitive to life and nature; that’s why you are able to interpret for the rest of us. But if you are not careful, that very hypersensitiveness will lead you to your destruction. The strain of it breaks every artist in time.”

ون گوگ: خیلی دوست دارم

گوگن: عجیبه! همه همین را میگن! من به سهم خودم پاریس را خاکروبه دونیِ بزرگی می دونم که تمدن هم خاکروبه اش است

شور زندگی، ایروینگ ستون”
