Irving Stone. Lust for life (№ 48424)

Do not write Rembrandt could not. He wrote good or bad - not important, but only Painting made him a man. The arts and expensive, Vincent, is that it gives the artist the opportunity to Express themselves. Rembrandt did what he thought was his life's purpose, and this is its justification. Even if his art wasn't worth anything, and even then he would have lived his life a thousand times more fruitful than if I suppressed my excitement and became the richest merchant of Amsterdam.
