If one listens to the faintest but
constant suggestions of his genius,
which
are certainly true,
(S)he sees not to what extremes or even insanity
it may lead him
and yet that way, as he grows more resolute and faithful
His road lies!
(S)he sees not to what extremes or even insanity
it may lead him
and yet that way, as he grows more resolute and faithful
His road lies!
-Henry David Thoreau
Vincent Van Gogh adds here:
"But what's your ultimate goal - you'll say
The goal will become clearer
will take shape slowly and surely
as the croquis becomes a sketch
sketch a painting
As one works more seriously
as one digs deeper
into the original vague ideas
the first fugitive passing thought
unless it becomes firms "
