We feel lonely now and then and long for friends and think we should be quite different and happier if we found a friend of whom we might say: “He is the one.” But you, too, will begin to learn that there is much self-deception behind this longing; if we yielded too much to it, it would lead us from the road.
— Vincent van Gogh

But it is possible that everything will get better after it has all seemed to go wrong. I am not counting on it, it may never happen, but if there should be a change for the better I should regard that as a gain, I should rejoice, I should say, at last! So there was something after all!
— Vincent van Gogh

— Vincent van Gogh
What is drawing? How does one learn it? It is working through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

You can live to be old or young, but you'll always have moments when you lose your head.
