“What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric, atau 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 hari like to tampil oleh my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart. That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on cinta in spite of everything, based lebih on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and musik inside me. I see paintings atau drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.”
― Vincent mobil van, van 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 lebih than the value of the paints used in the picture.”
― Vincent mobil van, van Gogh
