Victory will come to us one day
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from Arles, 4 December 1888
If we can stand the siege, victory will come to us one day, in spite of our not being among the people who are talked about. It is rather a case that makes you think of the proverb - joy in public, sorrow at home.
What can you expect? Supposing that the fight is still before us, we must just try to mature quietly.
You always told me to work more for quality than quantity.
Letter 560
