I hope you like these Vincent Van Gogh quotes from my collection of quotes about life.

of affection, of friendly intercourse,
and I am not made of stone or iron,
so I cannot miss these things without feeling,
as does any other intelligent man, a void and deep need.
I tell you this to let you know how much good your visit has done me.

to a cause greater than oneself.
