Patricia’s Journal (21.07.10) – Papercut Wednesday: Stormy Seas Edition

Hihi SuperForest

I’ve been entertaining myself with a papercut recently and thought it would be a good opportunity to share, along with a couple of tangentially related quotations that I like:

You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861 – 1941)

and one more that speaks to me, from Vincent:

Someone who has been wandering about for a long time, tossed to and fro on a stormy sea, will in the end reach his destination. Someone who has seemed to be good for nothing, unable to fill any job, any appointment, will find one in the end and, energetic and capable, will prove himself quite different from what he seemed at first.

Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890)

Because we all face our own stormy seas sometimes, but the clouds do clear.

902 letters written by Vincent van Gogh, illustrated, annotated, translated, and commented upon. All online for free, right now.

“The Van Gogh Letters Project began in November 1994 with a team of three researchers. The objective was to produce a fully annotated edition of the original letters accompanied by a new English translation so as to meet the demand for a reliable source edition and serve the needs of international readers and researchers. A core group (1994–1998) consisting of the editors Leo Jansen and Hans Luijten, Louis van Tilborgh and Dick van Vliet set out the basic principles and outlined the best way the project could be realized.”
