Vincent Van Gogh

"Can we see the whole of life or only know a hemisphere of it before death? I’ve no idea of the answer myself. But the sight of stars always sets me dreaming…”


“Why, I ask myself, shouldn’t the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France? Just as we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star.”

“It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to…. The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.”


“We spend our whole lives in unconscious exercise of the art of expressing our thoughts with the help of words.”


“To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one’s fling from time to time, smoke one’s pipe, and drink one’s coffee in peace.”


“I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate.”

Vincent Van Gogh
