Loneliness is a kind of prison. [Vincent Van Gogh]
Irving Stone

Art's a staple. Like bread or wine or a warm coat in winter. Those who think it is a luxury have only a fragment of a mind. Man's spirit grows hungry for art in the same way his stomach growls for food.

Pleasure is one of the most important things in life, as important as food or drink.

Being mad is even pleasant. But only a madman understands that.

How can a young person learn whether he chose the correct way? He thinks he has a special idea, and then he discovers that he is completely inappropriate for it.
Irving Stone
Image
Everyone has their own personality, its own character, and if he respects that, everything would finally fall over for good only.
Irving Stone
Image
He had always loved God. In his darkest hours he cried out, God did not create us to abandon us.
Irving Stone
Image
Story writers say that love is concerned only with young people, and the excitement and glamour of romance end at the altar. How blind they are. The best romance is inside marriage the finest love stories come after the wedding, not before.
