Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am a fanatic! I feel a power within me...a fire that I may not quench, but must keep ablaze.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Whatever plan one makes, there is a hidden difficulty somewhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Fortunately for me, I know well enough what I want, and am basically utterly indifferent to the criticism that I work to hurriedly. In answer to that, I have done some things even more hurriedly theses last few days.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
