“For me, life may well continue in solitude. I have never perceived those to whom I have been most attached other than as through a glass, darkly.”
― Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

“You don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas, which says to the painter, ‘You can't do a thing’.”
― Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

“I keep hoping that I’ll come up with something. To express the love of two lovers by the marriage of two complementary colours, their blending and their contrast, the mysterious vibrations of related tones. To express that thought of a brow by the radiance of a light tone against a dark background. To express hope by some star. Someone’s passion by the radiance of the setting sun.”
― Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

“It must be good to die in the knowledge that one has done some truthful work and to know that, as a result, one will live on in the memory of at least a few, and leave a good example for those who come after. A work that is good may not last for ever, but the thought expressed by it will. And the work itself will surely survive for a very long time. And those who come later can do no better than follow in the footsteps of such predecessors and copy their example."
"The Letters of Vincent van Gogh" (Amsterdam, 3 March 1878)”
