Vincent Van Gogh Quotes:
Ocupation: Painter
Life: March 30, 1853 - July 29, 1890
Birthday: March 30
Death: July 29
I was certainly going the right way for a stroke when I left Paris. I paid for it nicely afterwards! When I stopped drinking, when I stopped smoking so much, when I began to think again instead of trying not to think - Good Lord, the depression and the prostration of it! Work in these magnificent natural surroundings (Arles) has restored my morale, but even now some efforts are too much for me: my strength fails me.
