I have to accept my role. I will never kill myself like Vincent Van Gogh. Nor will I paint beautiful water lilies like Monet. I can't do that. I'm in the idiot role of being a kiddie book person.

Van Gogh was impulsive.

It's only a few nutcases who do art for themselves, like Van Gogh.

It would be difficult for me to express all my thoughts about it. It remains a constant disappointment to me that my drawings are not yet what I want them to be. The difficulties are indeed numerous and great, and cannot be overcome immediately. Maki

Van Gogh would have to cut his cock off to make an impression nowadays

I've never really understood the term 'Post-Impressionism' as more than a label for Cezanne, Gauguin and van Gogh.
