Favourite Vincent van Gogh quotes (part 1)
“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.”
“If ever you fall in love, do so without reservation, or rather, if you should fall in love simply give no thought to any reservation.”
“It quite often makes me feel sad that painting’s like a bad mistress one might have, who’s always spending, spending and it’s never enough..”
“There are often beams in our eye that we know not of. Let us therefore ask that our eye may become single, for then we ourselves shall become wholly single.”
“Art is jealous and demands all our time and all our strength, and then when we dedicate these to it, it leaves rather a bitter taste to be taken for some kind of impractical person and I don’t know what else. Well, we just have to try and battle on.”
“I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.”
“Let us keep courage and try to be patient and gentle. And let us not mind being eccentric, and make distinction between good and evil.”
“I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.”
“Someday death will take us to another star.”
“…and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?”

Oh god chapter 69. I can't believe they interrogate the Abbe Busoni (Edmond Dantes) and Lord Wilmore (Edmond Dantes) about the Count of Monte Cristo (Edmond Dantes). Hilarious. Fantastic. Love it.
