“What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric, ou 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 jour like to montrer par my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart. That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on l’amour in spite of everything, based plus on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and musique inside me. I see paintings ou drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.”
― Vincent 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 plus than the value of the paints used in the picture.”
