Vincent Van Gogh speaking about the second Starry Night: "That raises again the eternal question: is the whole of life visible to us or do we in fact know only the one hemisphere before we die? For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream, in the same simple way as I dream about the black dots representing towns and villages on a map. Why, I ask myself, should the shining dots in the sky be any less accessible to us than the black dots on a map of France? If we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, then we take death to go to a star. What is certainly true in this reasoning is that while we are alive we cannot go to a star, any more than, once dead we could catch a train. It seems not impossible to me that cholera... and cancer could be means of celestial transportation, just as steamboats, omnibuses and railways serve that function on earth. To die peacefully of old age would be to go there on foot."

"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles" - Audrey Hepburn ♥
