I shrug my shoulders
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from Nuenen, April 1884
If I, for my part, have some confidence in my own work, it is also because it costs me too much effort for me to believe that nothing will be gained by it or that it is done in vain.
And I repeat, I shrug my shoulders at the banalities in which most connoisseurs seem to indulge more and more.
