By working hard, boy, I hope to succeed in making something good. It isn't there yet, but I aim at it, and struggle for it. I want something serious, - some thing fresh - something with soul in it!

About Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history. In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. Not commercially successful, he struggled with severe depression and poverty, eventually leading to his suicide at age thirty-seven.

Additional quotes by Vincent van Gogh
Deoarece există pierde-vară și pierde-vară, două tipuri care contrastează unul cu altul. Există acel tip de pierde-vară care se comportă astfel din pricina lenei și a slăbiciunii de caracter, din pricina josniciei firii sale, așa încât poți, dacă vei găsi de cuviință, să mă socotești ca atare. Există, apoi, și celălalt tip de pierde-vară, care se comportă astfel împotriva voinței sale, un ins mistuit pe dinăuntru de o nestăvilită dorință de acțiune, care nu face nimic deoarece se află în imposibilitatea de-a face ceva, fiindcă e ca și întemnițat, fiindcă nu are ceea ce i-ar trebui ca să fie productiv, fiindcă soarta potrivnică îi impune această situație; un astfel de om nu știe nici chiar el întotdeauna ce-ar putea să facă, dar simte din instinct: totuși sunt bun la ceva, presimt că am o rațiune de-a trăi! Știu c-aș putea fi un om complet diferit! La ce, oare, aș putea folosi, la ce, oare, aș putea sluji? Există ceva înlăuntrul meu, dar ce-o fi oare?
