Vincent Van Gogh
One must never let the fire go out in one's soul, but keep it burning.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion. Then I go out and paint the stars.
Vincent Van Gogh
I wanted to make people think of a totally different way of living from that which we, educated people, live. I would absolutely not want anyone to find it beautiful or good without a thought.
Vincent Van Gogh
