Someday my paintings will be hanging in the Louvre. [Vincent Van Gogh]

Pleasure is one of the most important things in life, as important as food or drink.

I do not know a better cure for mental illness than a book.

Listen, my friend, all forms that exist in God's universe can be found in the human figure. A man's body and face can tell everything he represents. So how could I ever exhaust my interest in it?

There are no faster or firmer friendships than those formed between people who love the same books.

The brooding is better than the joy because even if the heart fills with happiness, it still mourns.

Do not call yourself old. A man is as old as the creative force within him.
