Yeah, poor Vincent! Ministering to the Belgian miners and their families didn't work out so well for him. But, then again, neither did painting.
An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.~Vincent
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.~Vincent
One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.~Vincent
The Passionate Shepherd to His Love
Come live with me and be my Love, And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dale and field, And all the craggy mountains yield.
There will we sit upon the rocks
And see the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers, to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
One of my favorite phrases, "Look for me when ya see me comin'". Followed by "Take a deep seat and a faraway look".

Interesting Vinnie would say that, after having been a missionary.
