I began to paint again, even though I could barely hold the brush, but knowing exactly what I wanted to paint, I began three more large canvases... of large wheat fields under cloudy skies, and it did not take a great deal to express sadness and loneliness...

Vincent Van Gogh

Loneliness, Believe, Sadness

One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.

Vincent Van Gogh

Sad, Lonely, Loneliness

Letter to Theo van Gogh from Cuesmes, www.vangoghletters.org. June 22-24, 1880.

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 Van Gogh

Love, Loneliness, Artist

Letter to Theo van Gogh from Cuesmes, www.vangoghletters.org. June 22-24, 1880.

What I need is courage, and this often fails me. And it is also a fact that since my disease, when I am in the fields I am overwhelmed by a feeling of loneliness to such a horrible extent that I shy away from going out. But this will change all the same as time goes on. Only when I stand a painting before my easel do I feel somewhat alive. Never mind, this is going to change too, for now my health is so good that I suppose the physical part of me will gain the victory.

Loneliness, Feelings, Mind

Vincent van Gogh, Martin Bailey (1990). “Van Gogh, letters from Provence”, Clarkson N Potter Publishers
