Creative Quotations for Mar 30 from Vincent Van Gogh
FRANK
Foraging:
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which
one should listen to. . . . The feeling for the things themselves, for
reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.
Reflecting:
Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's
soul.
Adopting:
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
Nurturing:
A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.
Knuckling Down:
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come
to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and
continue on the way.
