Memorable Quotes from At eternity's Gate - Life of Van Gogh

-
Some memorable quotes from the film:

Maybe god made me a painter for people who are not born yet.

Life is for sowing, the harvest is not here.

I paint with my qualities and faults.

I find joy in sorrow. And sorrow is greater than laughter.

An angel is not far from those who are sad. An illness can sometime heals us

VG: I'll show what i see, to my human brothers, who don't see it.  It's a privilege. I can give them hope and consolation.

Doctor: but you are confusing people with your paintings.

VG: I am my paintings.

Doctor: What do you mean hope and consolation? You might be asking too much of people.

VG: I like to share my vision with people who can't  see what I see the way I see it.

Doctor: yes but why?

VG : because my vision is closer to the reality of the world.

Beberapa univesiti awam negara berada dalam kelompok 200 ke

Irrationality of Modern Rationality- The Danger of Thinking Small.

Just like capitalism, rationality is now the lifeblood, the air we breathe. As a principle itself, it makes perfect sense. However, what is proposed here is that, in the wrong doses, it might prove disastrous for us all.

This may happen when our work may have a detrimental impact on our surviv
