Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh

The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.

In the fullness of artistic life there is, and remains, and will always come back at times, that homesick longing for the truly ideal life that can never come true.
Vincent Van Gogh
