Vincent Van Gogh Quotes About Loneliness

Quotes about: Loneliness

• 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.

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.
