Aim at the very heart of the profession
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from Drenthe, 28 October 1883
It seems to me that you, who are very young, do not act recklessly when you argue, I have had enough of the art-dealing business but not of art; I'll drop the business, and aim at the very heart of the profession.
That is what I ought to have done at the time.
