梵高的画具有非凡的感染力，正如他的一生一样。

大学时看的梵高传记，把我看哭了。有一段对话非常打动我—

画家Anton Mauve 问梵高：

“Do you call yourself an artist?”

“Yes.”

“How absurd. You never sold a picture in your life.”

“Is that what being an artist means – selling? I thought it meant one who was always seeking without absolutely finding. I thought it meant the contrary from ‘I know it. I have found it.’ When I say I am an artist, I only mean ‘I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.’”

(Irving Stone, Lust for Life)
