| Vincent van Gogh
A good picture is equivalent to a good deed. Conscience is a man's compass. Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. Great things are not done by impulse, but a series of small things brought together. I can't work without a model. I won't say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true. If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere. One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way. Since visiting the abbatoirs of S. France I have stopped eating meat.The Mediterranean has the color of mackerel, changeable I mean. You don't always know if it is green or violet, you can't even say it's blue, because the next moment the changing reflection has taken on a tint of rose or gray. There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke. |
