"Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum."
In his letter to Theo, from The Hague, 21 July 1882
~Vincent van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890)
