some of Van Goghs' quotes:

A painting to rest the brain or the imagination.

I have a terrible lucidity at moments when nature is so beautiful. I am not conscious of myself any more, and the pictures come to me as if in a dream.

It is so more easy to make a good picture than it is to find a diamond or a pearl. It means trouble, and you risk your life for it.

I cannot help it that my paintings do not sell. The time will come when people will see that they are worth than the price of the paint.
