“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.”
― Vincent Van Gogh
“Vase with Pink Roses” (1890) by Vincent van Gogh
“I passionately love the life of my own time, so animated, so frenzied. […] Yes, I love things that shine, precious stones that sparkle, fabric that shimmers, beautiful women that inspire carnal desire… and painting gives me complete possession of all of that, for what I paint is often the obsessive realization of a dream or a fixation…. One must want to touch the picture, it must be a pleasure for all the senses. The picture must be something exciting and exalt life.”
– Kees Van Dongen
