"Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I see before me, I make more arbitrary use of colour to express myself more forcefully ... To express the love of two lovers by the marriage of two complementary colours ... To express the thought of a brow by the radiance of a light tone against a dark background. To express hope by some star. Someone's passion by the radiance of the setting sun."
Vincent van Gogh, 1888.
I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored
than the day.

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
done well.

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the
stars makes me dream.

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in
fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
