But beautiful things mean painstaking work, disappointment, and perseverance.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate.
Vincent Van Gogh
The uglier, older, meaner, iller, poorer I get, the more I wish to take my revenge by doing brilliant color, well arranged, resplendent.
