Vincent Van Gogh

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
~Vincent Van Gogh

When I was very young (seven or eight years old) I was fortunate enough to see Van Gogh's work on display in Amsterdam; it made a huge impression on me. I've been a lifelong fan.
