Famous quotes containing the words vase and/or painting:
“We must rest here, for this is where the teacher comes.
On his desk stands a vase of tears.”

“It is not a certain conformity of manners that the painting of Van Gogh attacks, but rather the conformity of institutions themselves. And even external nature, with her climates, her tides, and her equinoctial storms, cannot, after van Gogh’s stay upon earth, maintain the same gravitation.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
