A kind of dissatisfaction with oneself
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, 2 November 1882
Of course one always feels, and one must feel, when at work, a kind of dissatisfaction with oneself, a longing to do it much better; but still it is delightful and comforting little by little to get a collection of all kinds of figures together, though the more one makes the more one wants to make.
