“Emotions are sometimes so strong that one works without knowing one works, when sometimes the strokes come with a sequence and a coherence like words in a speech or letter, then one must remember that it has not always been so, and that in the time to come there will again be heavy days, empty of inspiration.” -Van Gogh
