"Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all."

"I am more and more convinced that one must not judge God by this world."

"I hardly have a head for writing, but I feel a great emptiness in no longer being at all up to date with what Gauguin, you and others are doing. But I really must have patience...."
