More from Vincent van Gogh
"I exaggerate, I sometimes make changes to the subject, but still I don't invent the whole of the painting; on the contrary, I find it readymade—but to be untangled—in the real world."
"I want to paint men and women with that something of the eternal which the halo used to symbolize, and which we seek to convey by the actual radiance and vibration of our colouring."
"Occasionally, in times of worry, I've longed to be stylish, but on second thought I say no—just let me be myself—and express rough, yet true things with rough workmanship."
"As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed."
"I am looking for the impossible. That is why I am always searching for it."
