Wise Words from Vincent van Gogh
Short and sweet post for you today 🙂 Here’s another quote I found and fell in love with. It could easily be a theme quote for the manuscript I’m editing right now:
Does the quote speak to you? Why or why not?

A quote to remember when going through those tough moment, which happen a lot during the editing stage! 😀
so true! we need to be able to keep our eyes on our dreams when we get buried in all the detailed work in editing 🙂
It makes me feel sad that van Gogh felt that he could know nothing with any certainty. I’d like to think that the stars (and all of Creation, really) are one of God’s many messages to us, telling us the opposite: that He is something we can always count on, with all certainty! (Beautiful graphic, by the way – thanks for sharing this quote!)
good point. I didn’t even think of the quote in terms of that, but I certainly agree with you. I would imagine not knowing anything for certain would create a very lonely life for van Gogh. But I wonder how much this quote was influenced by his mental illness? (just wikied him….did you know he apparently wanted to be a pastor/missionary at one point? fascinating.)
Wow – I didn’t know that! He seems like a fascinating person…makes me want to read his biography!
Let me know of you find a good one- I’d love to read it too!
