"Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion." ― Vincent Van Gogh Topic(s): Faith Tags: faith, painting More From Vincent Van Gogh "Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous." "When I have a terrible need of – shall I say the word – religion. Then I go out and paint the stars." "Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well." More In Faith "Notwithstanding these setbacks, the dream of a beautiful American orchestra goes on, and I share Dr. King’s faith that each year we move inexorably closer to a magnificent opening night."― Adam Schiff "I am prejudiced in favor of him who, without impudence, can ask boldly. He has faith in humanity, and faith in himself. No one who is not accustomed to giving grandly can ask nobly and with boldness."― Johann Kaspar Lavater "Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch."― E. M. Forster
