Vincent Van Gogh
If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.
Vincent Van Gogh
It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh
I long so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things require effort and disappointment and perseverance.
Vincent Van Gogh
If we study Japanese art, we see a man who is undoubtedly wise, philosophic and intelligent, who spends his time doing what? He studies a single blade of grass.
Vincent Van Gogh
