Vincent van Gogh
“În fine, nu mă pot lăsa pradă melancoliei, trebuie să găsesc o ieșire, căci datoria mea e să lucrez. Sunt clipe când nu-mi găsesc liniștea decât în certitudinea că nenorocirea nu mă va cruța nici pe mine.”
Vincent Van Gogh, Dear Theo

Vincent van Gogh
“…I have a feeling of being at home when I am with Sien, a feeling that she gives me my own hearth, that our lives are interwoven. This is a heartfelt, deep feeling, serious, and not without a dark shadow of her gloomy past and mine, as if some evil threatened us, against which we should have to struggle all our lives. At the same time, I feel a great calm and brightness and cheerfulness at the thought of her, and the straight path that is lying before me.”
Vincent van Gogh, Dear Theo

Vincent van Gogh
“For love is something positive, so strong, so real that it is impossible for one who loves to take back that feeling...

So I remain calm and confident through all this, and that influences my work, which attracts me more than ever, just because I feel I shall succeed. Not that I shall become anything extraordinary, but “ordinary,” and then I mean by ordinary, that my work will be sound and reasonable, and will have a right to exist, and will serve to some end. I think that nothing awakens us to the reality of life so much as a true love…”
Vincent Van Gogh, Ever Yours: The Essential Letters

Vincent van Gogh
“You can live to be old or young, but you'll always have moments when you lose your head.”
Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh
“Iată de ce, înainte de toate, sunt îndemnat să cred că hotărârea cea mai bună pe care aș putea-o lua, ca și cea mai înțeleaptă, este aceea de-a pleca și de-a rămâne la distanța cuvenită, să fiu ca și cum n-aș fi.”
Vincent Van Gogh, Dear Theo
