Life is not long for anybody, and the problem is only to make something of it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love a friend, love a wife, something, whatever you like, but one must love with a lofty and serious intimate sympathy, with strength, with intelligence, and one must always try to know deeper, better, and more.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
