Art is jealous
Vincent van Gogh to Anthon van Rappard, from The Hague, 4-5 June 1882
Art is jealous, and demands our whole strength; and then, when one devotes all one's powers to it, to be looked upon as a kind of unpractical fellow and all kinds of other things - yes, that leaves a bitter taste in one's mouth.
Oh well, we must try to carry on.
