“At present I absolutely want to paint a starry sky. It often seems to me that night is still more richly coloured than the day; having hues of the most intense violets, blues and greens. If only you pay attention to it you will see that certain stars are lemon-yellow, others pink or a green, blue and forget-me-not brilliance. And without my expatiating on this theme it is obvious that putting little white dots on the blue-black is not enough to paint a starry sky.”
― Vincent van Gogh

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.”

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
