“I can’t foretell the future, Theo — but I do know the eternal law that all things change. Think back 10 years, and things were different, the circumstances, the mood of the people, in short everything. And 10 years hence much is bound to have changed again. But WHAT ONE DOES remains — and one does not easily regret having done it. The more active one is, the better, and I would sooner have a failure than sit idle and do nothing.”
—Vincent van Gogh, in a letter to his brother Theo (July 1885)
