“I shouldn't precisely have chosen madness if there had been any choice, but once such a thing has taken hold of you, you can't very well get out of it.”
― Vincent Van Gogh

“I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it — keep going, keep going come what may.
But what is your final goal, you may ask. That goal will become clearer, will emerge slowly but surely, much as the rough draught turns into a sketch, and the sketch into a painting through the serious work done on it, through the elaboration of the original vague idea and through the consolidation of the first fleeting and passing thought.”
― Vincent van Gogh

“When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion, then I go out and paint the stars.”
― Vincent van Gogh

“For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me want to dream.”
― Vincent Van Gogh, Van Gogh's Starry Night Notebook
