More From Vincent Van Gogh

How hard to realize that every camp of men or beast has this glorious starry firmament for a roof! in such places standing alone on the mountain-top it is easy to realize that whatever special nests we make - leaves and moss like the marmots and birds, or tents or piled stone - we all dwell in a house of one room - the world with the firmament for its roof - and are sailing the celestial spaces without leaving any track.

In the great wealth, the great firmament of your nation's generosities this particular choice may perhaps be found by future generations as a trifle eccentric, but the mere fact of it . . . the prodigal, pure, human kindness of it . . . must be seen as a beautiful star in that firmament which shines upon me at this moment, dazzling me a little, but filling me with warmth of the extraordinary elation, the euphoria that happens to so many of us at the first breath of the majestic glow of a new tomorrow.

There is no night life in spain. they stay up late but they get up late. that is not night life. that is delaying the day. night life is when you get up with a hangover in the morning. night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill. night life goes round and round and you look at the wall to make it stop. night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. if you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.

The town is silent. the night boils with eleven stars. oh starry starry night! this is how i want to die.

Now came still evening on, and twilight gray had in her sober livery all things clad; silence accompany'd; for beast and bird, they to their grassy couch, these to their nests, were slunk, all but the wakeful nightingale; she all night long her amorous descant sung; silence was pleas'd. now glow'd the firmament with living sapphires; hesperus, that led the starry host, rode brightest, till the moon, rising in clouded majesty, at length apparent queen unveil'd her peerless light, and o'er the dark her silver mantle threw.

But what exceeds all wonders, i have discovered four new planets and observed their proper and particular motions, different among themselves and from the motions of all the other stars; and these new planets move about another very large star [jupiter] like venus and mercury, and perchance the other known planets, move about the sun. as soon as this tract, which i shall send to all the philosophers and mathematicians as an announcement, is finished, i shall send a copy to the most serene grand duke, together with an excellent spyglass, so that he can verify all these truths.

But mtv relishes its vestigial role as a star maker, so every year it puts all its clout into making the vmas the biggest, splashiest, loudest show-biz extravaganza of the year, honoring all this music for existing, after a year of paying barely any attention to it.

When, like an emir of tyrannic power, sirius appears, and on the horizon black bids countless stars pursue their mighty track.

We find it hard to picture to ourselves the state of mind of a man of older days who firmly believed that the earth was the centre of the universe, and that all the heavenly bodies revolved around it. he could feel beneath his feet the writhings of the damned amid the flames; very likely he had seen with his own eyes and smelt with his own nostrils the sulphurous fumes of hell escaping from some fissure in the rocks. looking upwards, he beheld ... the incorruptible firmament, wherein the stars hung like so many lamps.

I've never been the big recording star i'd love to be some day. i've had lots of hits off and on through the years but i've never had the success of other artists - one hit after another back-to-back-to-back and big hits, where every song is going to be number one. i'm not greedy or nothing. i just want everything. is there something wrong with that?
