Quotes

• “The last two days I have not painted on [his painting of] the Castle [in Vorden!] It is lying now on the roof to dry. it looks terribly gloomy.. .Good-bye, dear Miss. I still have to read in the great German philosopher Schopenhauer, a man who thought that all the misery he saw in life was created by an evil spirit who created this earth. - Good night, dear Miss, it is 2 o'clock in the night, already and the letter must still be mailed by post. (translation from Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek).”
• “I agreed with my father's servant, to travel secretly to Greece [c. 1825-26], to help them in their War for freedom against the Turks]; everything was ready for the journey, but then my father discovered our intentions. On that occasion I got my first and only beating.”
• “Then - being in two minds - in my father's courtyard, I counted the buttons of my coat: soldier or painter, soldier, painter, soldier, painter.. ..the last button told me: painter. So it was decided by chance that I would become a painter [c. 1831].”
• “On a certain day I packed my things and went to Oosterbeek [c. 1834-36]. I saw a man lying out of the window somewhere. Farmer! are there rooms for rent nearby? - Yes sir, even here. - I went in, saw a beautiful, suitable painting room; that satisfied me, I ask for nothing more. One hundred fifty guilders was the rent [per year]. I offered a hundred sixty when he also worked the garden and planted a lot of red cabbage, because I like to see that.”
• “People call this beautiful? - no, they are crazy, or I am mad! – How I learned now at Oosterbeek [c. 1834-36 that I should look at Nature completely different! In the beginning I could not make anything good; I soon realized that I had to start all over again.”
• “..buried soberly, as simple as a child of the people, as I am.”
