· "When a person has pity on all living creatures, only then is one noble." - Buddhist Saying
· “I dream my painting and I paint my dream.” - Van Gogh
· “Normality is a paved road: it’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.” - Van Gogh
· “If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.” - Van Gogh
· “So often, a visit to a bookshop has cheered me and reminded me that there are good things in the world.” - Van Gogh
· “Your profession is not what brings home your weekly paycheck, your profession is what you’re put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.” - Van Gogh
· “Whoever loves much, performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.” - Van Gogh
· “What am I in the eyes of most people—a nonentity, an eccentric, or 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 day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart. That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on love in spite of everything, based more on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony, and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven toward these things with an irresistible momentum.” - Van Gogh
