Bases Quote by Vincent Van Gogh
“I feel such a creative force in me: I am convinced that there will be a time when, let us say, I will make something good every day , on a regular basis…I am doing my very best to make every effort because I am longing so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things mean painstaking work, disappointment, and perseverance.”
