The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh Still Speak to Us (4 Quotes on Art, Money, and Creating)
There's so much wisdom and honesty in "The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh." Most of the sentences and passages I underlined relate to creativity, procrastination, making great art, and even writing. I still have 150 pages left to read, but I've recorded this video to ramble about 3 - 4 quotes from this gem. It helps me reflect on what I read, and I hope it somehow helps you too.
