The great isn't something accidental it must be willed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I do not intend to spare myself, not to avoid emotions or difficulties. I don't care much whether I live a longer or shorter time... the world concerns me only in so far as I feel a certain debt toward it, because I have walked on this earth for thirty years, and out of gratitude I want to leave some souvenir.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Painting it was hard graft. There are one and a half large tubes of white in the ground - yet that ground is very dark.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The large majority of people are asleep and do not wish to wake up.
