I believe in a God
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, 6 July 1882
And look here - just between us - without sermonizing - if there is no God, there is nevertheless one very close by somewhere, and one feels His presence at moments like this. Which is tantamount to saying something for which I would happily substitute the straightforward statement: I believe in a God, and that it is His will that man does not live alone but with a wife and child, if everything is to be normal.
Letter 213
