“What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric, или an unpleasant person — somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then — even if that were absolutely true, then I should one день like to Показать by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart. That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on Любовь in spite of everything, based еще on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and Музыка inside me. I see paintings или drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.”
― Vincent фургон, ван Gogh

“I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell. But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth еще than the value of the paints used in the picture.”
― Vincent фургон, ван Gogh
