Do you know what makes the prison disappear? every deep, genuine affection. being friends, being brothers, loving, that is what opens the prison, with supreme power, by some magic force. without these one stays dead. but whenever affection is revived, there life revives.

Do You Know What Makes The Prison

Vincent Van Gogh
Do you know what makes the prison disappear? every deep, genuine affection. being friends, being brothers, loving, that is what opens the prison, with supreme power, by some magic force. without these one stays dead. but whenever affection is revived, there life revives.

More From Vincent Van Gogh

And that's what i don't like about magic, captain. 'cos it's *magic*. you can't ask questions, it's magic. it doesn't explain anything, it's magic. you don't know where it comes from, it's magic! that's what i don't like about magic, it does everything by magic!

Friends, genuine friends, are attracted by a warm heart, not money, not power. a genuine friend considers you as just another human being, as a brother or sister, and shows affection on that level, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, or in a high position; that is a genuine friend.
Brother Heart Rich Or Poor
Your eyes are as a flame, but our brothers have neither hope nor fire. your mouth is cut of granite, but our brothers are soft and humble. your head is high, but our brothers cringe. you walk, but our brothers crawl. we wish to be damned with you, rather than blessed with all our brothers. do as you please with us, but do not send us away from you.
Brother Blessed Humble
The human race will disappear. other races will appear and disappear in turn. the sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. which will also disappear. everything will disappear. and what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. good, evil, morality, feelings? pure 'victorian fictions'. only egotism exists.

The notion that the supreme court comes up with the ruling and that automatically subjects the two other branches to following it defies everything there is about the three equal branches of government. the supreme court is not the supreme branch. and for god's sake, it isn't the supreme being. it is the supreme court.

There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school. to begin with, it is a prison. but in some respects more cruel than a prison. in a prison, for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the warders and the governor. . . .in the prison you are not forced to sit listening to turnkeys discoursing without charm or interest on subjects that they don't understand and don't care about, and therefore incapable of making you understand or care about. in a prison they may torture your body; but they do not torture your brains.

Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free.

I wondered if that was true: if they were all really children wrapped up in adult bodies, like children's books hidden in the middle of dull, long adult books, the kind with no pictures or conversations.
