To express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of Kindred tones. To express the thought of a brow by the radiance of light tone against a somber background to express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset radiance.
Vincent Van Gogh
The wheat field has ...poetry it is like a memory of something one has once seen. We can only make our pictures speak.
Vincent Van Gogh
Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone.
Vincent Van Gogh
The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else, but keep heart, it will turn out all right.
