    Sylvia Plath
    “I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
    ― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

    Liesbeth Heenk
    “Vincent quería que sus obras transmitieran emociones, por lo que necesitaba sentir melancolía para incluirla en su trabajo:
    «La vida del artista es un auténtico calvario. Y aunque parezca irónico, es lo que nos mantiene vivos. La pasión nos alienta y morimos cuando no hay nada que la alimente. No nos importa atravesar un camino lleno de espinas, porque también encontramos poesía.» (Carta 675, Arlés, c.8 de septiembre de 1888)”

    Liesbeth Heenk
    “En Arlés vivió durante tres semanas a base de galletas náuticas, huevos y leche, porque era más importante tener dinero para pagar a sus modelos.
    Esto es tan sólo una muestra de lo que podemos encontrar en las cartas. El cansancio físico y la abnegación parecen haber sido los pilares sobre los que asentó su carrera. Creía firmemente que su carrera tenía un único fin: hacer buenas pinturas y dibujos.”
