My pleasure lies in the progress of my work
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, 2 January 1883
If you should find some progress in my work when you come here again, I should have no other desire than to go on in the same way I have - that is, to continue my work quietly without mixing with anybody else. When there is bread in the house and I have some money in my pocket to pay the models, what more can I want? My pleasure lies in the progress of my work, and that absorbs me more and more.
