Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I take great care of myself by carefully shutting myself away.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
No, no thought to the winnings. One loves because one loves.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Art demands constant observation.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
It is the painting that makes me so happy these days.
Vincent Van Gogh
