Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
The sunflower is mine, in a way.
Vincent Van Gogh
The great isn't something accidental it must be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
It may be true that there is no God here, but there must be one not far off, and at such a moment one feels His presence which comes to the same as saying (and I readily give this sincere profession of faith): I believe in God, and that it is His wi
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
I see drawings and pictures in the poorest huts, in the dirtiest corner. And my mind is drawn toward these things by an irresistible force.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
